About the C64 Pi1541-III Module FP1

C64 Pi1541-III Module FP1 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 100 × 35 mm, with 4 components from 1 distinct parts.

It belongs with the retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

I wanted a Pi1541-module that did not feel like I was handling bare electronics, so I made another that manages to hide most of the scary bits without needing a 3d-printer.

A Pi1541 can be constructed in many ways, but even though you can easily build one without the help of a PCB such as the ones provided by this project - I've found it a lot easier to make them work when you have a PCB available. I've released the design files for a more traditional Raspberry Pi-hat if you would rather build one of those, these can be found in my old repository at C64-Pi1541-Module. A slightly different take on the device can also be found at C64-Pi1541-II as it was made to resemble a slightly smaller stack of floppy disks.
