Hardware files for the MultiRom Cartridge =========================================

You need KiCad 4.0 or later to open the project files.

The file MultiRomCard-cache.lib is included here for convenience. If you have the KiCad standard symbol libraries installed, you do not need this file. Currently, the only items from the standard libraries are the schematic symbols for the 74HC595 Shift Register and the 74HC245 Bus Transciever. All other schematic symbols are custom made and included in MultiRomCard.lib.

The KiCad project lives in the mkeller0815/VC4000MultiROM repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

VC4000MultiROM: common questions

What microcontroller does the VC4000MultiROM use?

The VC4000MultiROM is built around the Arduino_Nano, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the VC4000MultiROM PCB?

The VC4000MultiROM measures 160 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VC4000MultiROM?

55 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the VC4000MultiROM design files?

From the mkeller0815/VC4000MultiROM repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the VC4000MultiROM design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which mkeller0815 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the VC4000MultiROM without the hardware?

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