This v2.1 board also has an interesting manufacturing flaw: I chose white silkscreen (I've double-checked the order confirmation e-mail), but Elecrow made a mistake and gave me black silkscreen. V2.1, which is the version you can see in the photos. Thought.turns out I screwed up the NPTH holes again, so they were fixed in Header to SMT and had correct NPTH holes. The v1.0 board was quickly followed up by GB-BRK-M v2.0, which switched the pin I also screwed up the NPTH hole sizes and placements, so Idea because the pins stick out from the bottom so the PCB won't fit nicely The original v1.0 version had just a PTH pin header and the NPTH This could then be connected to some actual circuitry in a breadboard The basic idea is to have a Game BoyĬartridge that has no other functionality than just giving me access to all the This board was an updated version of GB-BRK-M, the breakout cartridge that GB-BRK-M v2.1ĭesigned with Eagle, manufactured in 2016 by Elecrow. minimum track size) than what is supported by Elecrow, so I Unfortunately my current designs often require more advanced manufacturingĬapabilities (e.g. I was and still am very happy with them, but However, I can now say the transition wasġ00% worth it, and I'm very happy with KiCad.Īlmost all of the following PCBs were manufactured byĮlecrow, who I used for a long time as the primary This process took aįairly long time, because the workflow was quite different and KiCad had (and Support for a smallish 4-layer design was way too expensive, so I started Iĭon't remember exactly what the pricing model of Eagle looked like, but having However,Īt some point I was starting to hit both size and layer limitations of Eagle,Īnd had to choose between paying for Eagle or switch to some alternative.

My initial choice of PCB design software was CadSoft Eagle, which had a free University after multiple attempts, but I started from very simple designs soĭeep knowledge was not required at first. With electronics, having barely passed the basic electronics course at the Hardware with the help of custom circuit boards. In order to find information about the system, I started studying the I was building a Game Boy emulatorĭocumentation about the system lacking in detail, so I started doing my own All these boards are related to my Game Boy researchĪctivities, which started back in 2014. This time I wanted to post some photos of old PCBs I've designed in the lastĬouple of years.
