Questions
How big is the Ps2 PCB?
It measures 24.1 × 13 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Ps2 use?
4 parts, built around the MD-60SM. 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 Ps2 KiCad files?
From the zeulewan/6502_project repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ps2-adapter/ps2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/ps2-adapter/ps2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Ps2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask zeulewan before reusing the design.
