Control
About the Control PCB
Control is an open source PCB design by Robert-Riordan-UCD, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 144.8 × 73.9 mm, with 64 components from 13 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AT28C64B-15PI, SN74AC14N, 74LS163, 74HCT138 and 74HCT00. By type, the board carries 29 resistors, 21 diodes, 7 ICs, 5 connectors, 1 switch and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
PCB version of Ben Eaters 8-bit breadboard computer
This is my version of Ben Eaters 8-bit breadboard SAP-1 CPU, converted to a PCB. I have made some minor changes as I could not find all of the components as listed in Ben's part list.
1. RAM IC's have been replaced with ATMega328-PU's. This should allow me to have persistant programs between power cycles.

Control: common questions
How big is the Control PCB?
The Control measures 144.8 × 73.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Control?
64 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Control design files?
From the Robert-Riordan-UCD/8_Bit_CPU_PCB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Control design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license, which Robert-Riordan-UCD chose for the repository.
