This folder contains the project files for the Worlds Worst Digital Dash (Gameboy Digital Dash) project. If attempting to recreate version 1 of the Arduino CANBUS card, please make a note of the included "Project Note" and "Project Note 2" pictures in the "Arduino Canbus Card" project folder, since I totally messed up the DB9 connector pinout and missed a trace leading to the 7805 voltage regulator. Also, I had to bridge some connections on top of the Arduino. Gotta admit, not my best work. The "reader.gb" file in the Gameboy Code folder is the pre-compiled binary that gets flashed to the…
