Questions

How big is the Adlib PCB?

It measures 135.3 × 106.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Adlib use?

61 parts, built around the 74LS245SC, LM386N, RC4136N and 74LS04PC. 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 Adlib KiCad files?

From the schlae/adlib repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Adlib.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Adlib design in my own project?

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