Questions

How big is the Computer hw PCB?

It measures 156 × 143.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Computer hw use?

95 parts, built around the 74HC245D, 74LS04PC and SN74LVC8T245PW. 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 Computer hw KiCad files?

From the thatoddmailbox/computer-hw repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is computer-hw.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Computer hw design in my own project?

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