Questions

How big is the Modules PCB?

It measures 43.1 × 43.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.57 mm thick.

What parts does the Modules use?

14 parts, built around the 74LS245SC, 74LS32SC and 74LS86. 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 Modules KiCad files?

From the Trilobyte-CPU/8-bit-computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCBs/03_MODULES/CPU-ALU/ALU-Logic/Modules.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Modules design in my own project?

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