Questions
How big is the C1581 PCB?
It measures 183.9 × 111.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the C1581 use?
80 parts, built around the 74LS241P-E, 74LS00SC, 74LS139PC and 74LS14PC. 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 C1581 KiCad files?
From the sjgray/C1581 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Enhanced/PROTO2/C1581.kicad_pcb and its schematic Enhanced/PROTO1/C1581.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the C1581 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sjgray before reusing the design.
