Custom PCB

[sillyhatday]

Hey, here's my pointless project. It's a custom PCB with 3D printed memory card housing. It's made to look close to a Sony memory card. It was mostly a simple project for me to get experience in connecting up an RP2040 from scratch. I'll make it available to everyone when it is finished if that would be fine with Dangiu.

There is no benefit to using this, it just makes it harder than any of the other options already shared.

I left the SWCLK, SWD and CLK as test points accessible, as talking to someone who developed an aftermarket screen driver for the Gameboy, they said they used those quite a bit in development. Should anyone wish to do their own firmware development, they are available.

I may or may not make a version for the plus firmware, swapping the USB port out to make space for an SD card slot. The USB port would go on a breakout PCB over a FFC to the main board for firmware programming.

As you can see, it is not finished, there are a few botches, the 3D render is the next revision. The 3D printed houseing also needs some minor tweaks for a better fit around the PCB.
