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.

Z80: common questions

How big is the Z80 PCB?

The Z80 measures 99.1 × 99.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Z80?

13 components, from 5 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 Z80 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 Z80 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.
