About the MegaDriveIGR PCB

MegaDriveIGR is an open source PIC PCB design by svirant, published on GitHub under the GPL-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 15.6 × 20.3 mm, with 5 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the C8226, from the PIC family. By type, the board carries 3 connectors, 1 IC and 1 capacitor.

MegaDriveIGR: common questions

What microcontroller does the MegaDriveIGR use?

The MegaDriveIGR is built around the C8226, from the PIC family.

How big is the MegaDriveIGR PCB?

The MegaDriveIGR measures 15.6 × 20.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.

How many components are on the MegaDriveIGR?

5 components, from 5 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 MegaDriveIGR design files?

From the svirant/MegaDriveIGR 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 MegaDriveIGR design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-2.0 license, which svirant chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the MegaDriveIGR without the hardware?

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