About the Beaglesatella PCB
Beaglesatella is an open source PCB design by hendersa, published on GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 54.6 × 136.5 mm, with 28 components from 12 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the ATF1504AS-10JU44, 74AHCT125 and 74LVC245AN. By type, the board carries 11 capacitors, 7 connectors, 6 ICs and 4 resistors.
From the project
Hardware/Software peripheral compatible with the Super Nintendo/Famicom
SUMMARY BeagleSatella is a hardware/software solution that implements the basic interface functions of peripherals compatible with the Super Nintendo (SNES) and Super Famicom (SFC) game consoles. These consoles contain a rarely-used expansion port on their underside that was intended to interface with a variety of hardware peripherals. Unfortunately, very few commercial peripherals were made available, with the most widely used being the Japan-only Satellaview satellite modem.
