About the Retro stack power clock PCB
Retro stack power clock 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 48 components from 25 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the L7805CV, 74HC08, 74HC32, 74HC14 and NE555P. By type, the board carries 15 capacitors, 12 resistors, 7 ICs, 5 diodes, 4 connectors and 3 switches.
It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.
From the project
A retro computer project based on stackable PCB boards.
This module is based on the 555 clock circuit used in Ben Eater's 8-bit and 6502 computer projects.
- PTC is oversized. - TVS diode is oversized. - Need knob for RV1. - Need 2.54mm pitch header jumpers. - Add more detail to silkscreen. - Remove Net ties.
