8042: common questions

Where can I find a 8042 reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the 8042. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the 8042 use?

Most are built on PIC (2).

How big is a typical board using the 8042?

The median is 214 × 170 mm, and 0% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the 8042?

By GitHub stars, .C68 by ProbablyNotArtyom, with 51 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the 8042 before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
