Elektor’s Junior Computer – My first version (V2.0) – The design

There is not so much to tell about the design as it is almost identical to the original (all done in Kicad).

The PCB (clickable):

The Gerber files (downloadable):

Please note these Gerber’s have the two design flaws described <Click here>

After I have made and built the V2.0 design I made 2 additional versions. Version 2.1 , this is an “Original” version, with “Digitasten” but where the two design flaws are corrected. Version 2.2, this is a version with the two design flaws corrected and with a PCB layout designed for Chinese keys.

DISCLAIMER – PLEASE NOTE THAT THOUGH I HAVE ORDERED THE V2_1 AND V2_2 PCB’s AND RECEIVED THEM I DID NOT BUILD THEM (YET).
