About the SwinsidNeat PCB

SwinsidNeat is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by jsanpe, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 17.5 × 36.6 mm, with 13 components from 11 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATmega88PA-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the SID6581. By type, the board carries 6 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 jumpers, 1 crystal, 1 diode and 1 capacitor.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

Yet another PCB layout of the nano SwinSID focusing on aesthetics

Yet another PCB layout of the nano SwinSID focusing on aesthetics

Note: The design was modified and the new PCB has not been fully tested. I will remove this note when I can get some PCBs with this new layout and test them myself.

A kicad implementation of the Swinsid Nano. Based on the nano SwinSID b design by Tolaemon (http://tolaemon.com/nss/), this implementation preserves the schematic but introduces changes in the PCB layout: - All components are placed on the bottom layer: the goal is to leave the top layer component free and use the silkscreen to mimic the MOS 6581 logo. So, this…

SwinsidNeat: common questions

What microcontroller does the SwinsidNeat use?

The SwinsidNeat is built around the ATmega88PA-AU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the SwinsidNeat PCB?

The SwinsidNeat measures 17.5 × 36.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the SwinsidNeat?

13 components, from 11 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the SwinsidNeat design files?

From the jsanpe/SwinsidNeat repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the SwinsidNeat design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the SwinsidNeat without the hardware?

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