About the Base board2 PCB
Base board2 is an open source PCB design by meadiode, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 36.7 × 24.1 mm, with 26 components from 16 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the IS31FL3743A and LED matrix 15x10. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 4 switches, 4 capacitors, 3 connectors, 2 ICs and 1 speaker.
From the project
Epic Minimalist Entertainment System - DIY handheld handheld game console
EMES - is a very minimalistic DIY handheld game console.
- Screen: 15x10 pixels, LED - Input: four button keyboard - Sound: Magnetic buzzer - Physical dimensions(approx): 40x32x14mm - Removeable 8-pin cartridges
The console doesn't have an onboard CPU/MCU, instead an MCU is placed on every removable cartridge.
Each cartridge features an ATTiny10 MCU with the following specs:
