About the Main PCB

Main is an open source PIC PCB design by Xenii1642, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 75.1 × 60.9 mm, with 45 components from 25 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the PIC16LF15324-I/JQ, from the PIC family. Other key parts include the LM49450SQ/NOPB, LP5907MFX-2.5, CH224K and GL823K. By type, the board carries 15 capacitors, 9 ICs, 7 connectors, 7 test points, 5 resistors and 1 LED.

From the project

Newer, Better, Thinner and Open-Source Xii-Boy

The Xii-Boy Pocket is a small portable Wii using a Game Boy form factor. The Xii-Boy Pocket is the second version of my Xii-Boy design. This new portable Wii is now better, thinner, and above all, Open-Source ! Compared to the Gboy Rev III, it is 25% smaller and 5mm thinner !

Main: common questions

What microcontroller does the Main use?

The Main is built around the PIC16LF15324-I/JQ, from the PIC family.

How big is the Main PCB?

The Main measures 75.1 × 60.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Main?

45 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Main design files?

From the Xenii1642/Xii-Boy-Pocket repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Main design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Xenii1642. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Main 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.
