RASPBERRY Pi1541 ZERO HAT

COMMODORE-64 DISK DRIVE EMULATOR

Hello,

This is a Pi1541 Hat for Rasberry Pi Zero, I built the circuit and tested it with a Raspberry Pi Zero, it works fine.

Pi1541 is a real-time, cycle exact, Commodore 1541 disk drive emulator. You can load and save commodore64 programs, D64 .PRG ... extensions games/software from a Micro SD card, it is an alternative to SD2iEC, please look at the Documentation link.

The source page link of this PCB drawing is below. (Option A)

It should also work with other suitable Raspberry Pi models listed at the source page.

Oled display pin order is more compatible now with PCB rev v1.2

Do not forget: solder 2 x 20 pin female header before OLED display :)

Thanks to Stephen White

PS: If you need EPYX FASTLOAD CARTRIDGE, you can find it from this link.

GERBERS CHANGED: PCB REV V1.2 (01.07.2020)

Two different position and pin order for Oled screen.

Both Oled screen GND and VCC connections can be Reversed, by cutting J1 - J2 and shorting J3 - J4

Better dimensions, more compatible to Raspberry PiZero

GERBERS CHANGED: PCB REV V1.2 (27.08.2020)

(Alternative power pins -PWR+ is corrected as +PWR-. Thanks to Jani)

3D Case designed by Cem Tezcan (Many thanks) (tested with first rev. PCB)

In order to protect your electronical devices, always turn off your Commodore before connecting or disconnecting the cables or any other device.

While transfering data (reading or writing) from SD cards it should not be interrupted like power-off or Reset systems. Otherwise that may damage SD cards.

Gerber files and component list are subject to change without notice. Before paying for the PCBs, be sure to update your orders!

As you can see I have uploaded many projects and I am still working on new projects. If you have any questions, please look for answers online. Unless I specify explicitly, all my projects are tested and confirmed to work under normal circumstances before being shared. I'm sorry I didn't have enough time to answer all the questions.

Use this PCB at your own risk !

Have fun

Thank you.
