About the Taiko-256 PCB
Taiko-256 is an open source STM32 PCB design by AnalogDragon, published on GitHub under the Custom license license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 170 × 120 mm, with 261 components from 52 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the TL084C, from the STM32 family. Other key parts include the XC6206P332MR, SP3485, STM32G030C8T6 and SRV05-4. By type, the board carries 121 resistors, 58 capacitors, 38 diodes, 26 connectors, 8 ICs and 8 switches.
It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
Taiko JVS for Namco System 256
Previously, running Taiko on Namco System 256 required many accessories, such as a JVS (MINI-JV PCB), a SIF PCB, and an intermediate FUTA PCB, making the setup overly complex. This project's PCB can fully replace the three boards mentioned above. It features two independent Taiko interfaces, an onboard Service button, and supports direct power supply via ATX. Alternatively, this PCB can also be used to replace only the SIF PCB and FUTA PCB while still using the original MINI-JV PCB. However, this does not provide a better experience.
