TO DO -- document better.
This is pretty much a RP2350B microcontroller with direct connections to the Radio Shack Color Computer's 40-pin expansion bus.
The RP2350B may be powered either by the USB-C or by the Coco. The USB-C takes precedence by going through only one diode to VBUS, whereas the Coco's +5V input goes through two diodes.
Jumper J6 must be configured in one of two ways:
-
Preferred: Connect pins 2 and 3, and connect pins 4 and 5. This runs both E and Q through the schmidt trigger inverter to clean them. They arrive negated at GPIO 21 and 22.
-
Original: Connect pins 1 and 2, and pins 5 and 6. This runs E and Q direct to GPIO 21 and 22, not negated. This has problems with bouncy detection.
Maybe a BUG? VBUS powers the 74HC14.
Bug: CTS
On a coco3, we must obey CTS, not just the address range $C000-$DFFF.
Temporarily I'm bodging it from J5 to J4, CTS (negative logic) to GPIO18.
Clock Speed
My current PIO-less firmware works with the semi-fast poke ($FFD7) but not with the fast poke ($FFD9). That's with disk11.asm for Disk Basic Cart ROM, and a floppy at $FF40/$FF4[89AB].
Testing on a 16K Coco2 (named "2C") and a Coco3 with a 6309 and 512K RAM (named "3B").

Questions
How big is the Centipede-32e PCB?
It measures 97.6 × 96 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Centipede-32e use?
135 parts, built around the 74HC14, HC-1.0-3PWT, K2-1808SN-A4SW-01 and RCLAMP0521P.TCT-MS. 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 Centipede-32e KiCad files?
From the strickyak/copico-centipede repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is centipede-32e/centipede-32e.kicad_pcb and its schematic centipede-32d/centipede-32d.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Centipede-32e design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
