Buffer
About the Buffer PCB
Buffer is an open source PCB design by wickerwaka, published on GitHub. It is a 8-layer board measuring 4.9 × 11.5 mm, with 7 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SN74LVCH8T245PWR. By type, the board carries 3 capacitors, 3 resistors and 1 IC.

KiCad 10 hardware projects copied from the working nu68020/nuBoard directory.
Each daughter project has its own nuBoard.kicadsym, nuBoard.pretty`, and project-relative library tables. Either directory can be copied independently; the only libraries required outside it are the default KiCad 10 libraries. Keep these local libraries with the project when copying or distributing it. The main board also uses…

Buffer: common questions
How big is the Buffer PCB?
The Buffer measures 4.9 × 11.5 mm, has 8 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Buffer?
7 components, from 4 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Buffer design files?
From the wickerwaka/nuBoard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Buffer design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with wickerwaka. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
