Lego gameboy main: common questions

What microcontroller does the Lego gameboy main use?

The Lego gameboy main is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Lego gameboy main PCB?

The Lego gameboy main measures 50.9 × 63.2 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Lego gameboy main?

45 components, from 28 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Lego gameboy main design files?

From the greigs/OpenBrickGB repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Lego gameboy main design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with greigs. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Lego gameboy main without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
