Vectrex vectorblade
About the Vectrex vectorblade PCB
Vectrex vectorblade is an open source PCB design by technobly, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 48 × 66 mm, with 15 components from 12 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SST39SF020, NC7ST08M5X (Schmitt-Trigger) and SN74AHC1G04DBVR (Schmitt-Trigger). By type, the board carries 3 ICs, 3 resistors, 1 connector, 1 switch, 1 diode and 1 capacitor.
From the project
Malban's Vectorblade PCB design, optimized with single gate SMT IC's (AND & NOT), 8 color RGB LED, and some gorgeous artwork applied.

Malban's Vectorblade PCB design, optimized with single gate SMT IC's (AND & NOT), 8 color RGB LED, and some gorgeous artwork applied. Looks great in black soldermask with ENIG (gold flash) finish!
Yes these fit in Sean Kelly reproduction cartridge shells perfectly!
