Questions

How big is the 6502-computer PCB?

It measures 82 × 98 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 6502-computer use?

10 parts, built around the 74HC595 and 74HC00D. 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 6502-computer KiCad files?

From the warnockf/6502-computer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 6502_computer.kicad_pcb and its schematic 6502_computer.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 6502-computer design in my own project?

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