Voltex Pico
About the Voltex Pico PCB
Voltex Pico is an open source PCB design by whowechina, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 275 × 153 mm, with 92 components from 20 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the PiPico, ADG708BRUZ, TMAG5273, LM4040DBZ-3 and LP5907MFX-4.2. By type, the board carries 21 diodes, 20 capacitors, 6 ICs, 6 resistors and 4 connectors.
From the project
Sound Voltex Style Compact Controller
Features: It's ultra thin but closely replicates the feel of the arcade controller. Supports both Hall Effect (magnetic) switches and regular mechanical switches. Utilizing my new innovation: stabilizer mechanics for big and thin buttons. Hall Effect knobs. Full HID light support. Command line for configurations. * All source files open.
Thanks to many respected guys/companies who made their tools or materials free or open source (KiCad, OnShape, InkScape, Raspberry things).
