IMPORTANT NOTE: Selling blank or complete PCBs or derivatives on eBay or elsewhere for excessive profit is frowned upon and may lead to forthcoming related projects being closed source. Even with the current global chip shortage (October 2021), components are not so expensive that you should pay up to a hundred dollars or Euros for a board. The PiStorm is not a project for making money, it is meant to be an affordable way to…

Pistorm atari: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pistorm atari use?

The Pistorm atari is built around the Raspberry_Pi_2_3, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Pistorm atari PCB?

The Pistorm atari measures 100 × 43.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pistorm atari?

30 components, from 12 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pistorm atari design files?

From the gotaproblem/pistorm-atari repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pistorm atari design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which gotaproblem chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Pistorm atari without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
