Questions
How big is the Arithmetic Logic Unit PCB?
It measures 95.9 × 90.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Arithmetic Logic Unit use?
81 parts, built around the 74LS245SC, 74LS173SC, 74LS86 and 74LS02PC. 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 Arithmetic Logic Unit KiCad files?
From the uddivert/SAP-U repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Arithmetic_Logic_Unit/Arithmetic_Logic_Unit.kicad_pcb and its schematic Arithmetic_Logic_Unit/ALU.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Arithmetic Logic Unit 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).
