Questions

How big is the Prototype2 PCB?

It measures 50.3 × 63.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Prototype2 use?

93 parts, built around the 74LVC125AD, 74LVC1G97GV, LD1117S33TR(MS) and SSM3K72KCT,L3F. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Prototype2 KiCad files?

From the nmikstas/atari_pokey repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Prototype2/Prototype2.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Extender_Board/Extender_Board/Extender_Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Prototype2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nmikstas before reusing the design.
