About the P8x control card PCB

P8x control card is an open source PCB design by ksr, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 280 × 140 mm, with 55 components from 23 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the 74HCT161, 74HCT14, 74HCT74, 74HCT00 and 74HCT08. By type, the board carries 22 capacitors, 21 ICs, 5 resistors, 3 LEDs, 1 crystal and 1 connector.

From the project

Generated by generators/genkicad.py from the canonical geneagle netlist (CARDS["control-card"]), same standard as the memory card: 4-layer (F/B signals, In1=GND, In2=VCC planes), a bypass cap above each IC, a labelled LED/jumper bank, part values on silk. Routed with Freerouting.

Routed with Freerouting. GENERATORS ARE CANON -- edit genkicad.py and re-run generators/buildkicadcard.sh control-card`.
