Gamerboy: common questions
What microcontroller does the Gamerboy use?
The Gamerboy is built around the ESP8266EX, from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Gamerboy PCB?
The Gamerboy measures 92 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Gamerboy?
41 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Gamerboy design files?
From the no5pace/pcb_portfolio repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Gamerboy design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with no5pace. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Gamerboy without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP8266 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
