About the Retro stack debug PCB

Retro stack debug is an open source PCB design by gcoonrod, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 99.1 × 99.1 mm, with 35 components from 11 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the 74HC244 and 74HC240. By type, the board carries 17 diodes, 6 resistors, 4 ICs, 4 capacitors, 3 connectors and 1 switch.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

A retro computer project based on stackable PCB boards.

This module provides a 40 pin IDC connection for use with an external debugging tool/circuit. In addition, all of the Address and Data signals and most of the control signals are routed through buffers to drive LEDs. The buffers can be disabled by the Display switch in the upper left when operating at higher speeds.
