About the Occitel mini PCB

Occitel mini is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by silicium-org, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 93.3 × 69.7 mm, with 11 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ProMicro, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 5 resistors, 2 diodes, 1 IC and 1 capacitor.

From the project

Occitel Mini is a 1:2 scale reproduction of the original Occitel game console released in 1976 by the Société occitane d'électronique, powered by the then brand-new General Instruments AY-3-8500 like every Pong-on-a-chip of the same era.

We manufactured a small batch #1, and who knows if there will ever be a batch #2… Get one from us by contacting Silicium or visit us IRL at events such as the Toulouse Game Show. \ It comes with a 70-page full color booklet filled with historical data, interviews, new and old photos, in a cardboard package that also is a 1:2 scale reproduction of the…

Occitel mini: common questions

What microcontroller does the Occitel mini use?

The Occitel mini is built around the ProMicro, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Occitel mini PCB?

The Occitel mini measures 93.3 × 69.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Occitel mini?

11 components, from 8 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Occitel mini design files?

From the silicium-org/occitel_mini repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Occitel mini design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which silicium-org chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Occitel mini 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.
