About the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project PCB

GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by SomeAspy, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a board, with 27 components from 20 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_ESP32, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 7 diodes, 5 modules, 5 transistors, 3 switches, 2 relays and 2 resistors.

From the project

This repository documents all my attempts to make the GE Opal 2 not kill itself

This repository documents all my attempts to make the GE Opal 2 not kill itself (More specifically, the *GE Profile:tm: Opal:tm: 2.0 Ultra Nugget Ice Maker )

Important context to a lot of frustration here: This is a $500 dollar ice machine. It has a lifespan of 6 months to 1 year

I have quite literally dumped hundreds of dollars into this project. Some of the costs are prototyping modules, connectors, electronics components, and OEM parts for the machine.

GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project: common questions

What microcontroller does the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project use?

The GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project is built around the Arduino_Nano_ESP32, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How many components are on the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project?

27 components, from 20 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project design files?

From the SomeAspy/GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project repository on GitHub, which has the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which SomeAspy chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the GE-Opal-Reverse-Engineering-Project 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.
