Amiga CD32
About the Amiga CD32 PCB
Amiga CD32 is an open source PCB design by tebl, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 58.4 × 38.1 mm, with 29 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74LS125 and 74LS165. By type, the board carries 12 resistors, 5 capacitors, 4 modules, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 1 jumper.
It belongs with the retro computing, keyboards and test & measurement designs in this gallery.
From the project
WASD-style joystick for vintage computers. With an added Arduino Pro Micro you can use it as a USB-keyboard, so if you wanted a DIY streamdeck or Macro-keyboard - then the C64 JoyKEY can do that as well.
For BOM, parts needed on putting it together is found in the relevant subfolder READMEs.
