The ATxmega64 (mgc_module) is an adaptable board for the MeGARCard. The board offers the possibility to control the MeGARCard with an ATxmega64. The board itself is connected to the MeGARCard within the pcb-to-pcb connectors (no soldering necessary). With the onboard dip-switches the reset can be enabled/disabled for PDI programming.
To mount the board on the
MeGARCarddisconnect the power source (USB-Cconnector) or any other used source from the MeGARCard!

Hardware
The pcb is created with KiCAD. All files are built with github actions so that they are ready for a production environment.
PCB
The circuit board is populated on both sides (Top, Bottom). The best way for soldering the SMD components is within a vapor phase soldering system and for the THT components with a standard soldering system.

Questions
How big is the MGC module PCB?
It measures 33 × 48.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MGC module use?
49 parts, built around the ATXMEGA64A4U-AU, DG418LDY-E3 and 103P012BB100. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the MGC module KiCad files?
From the 0x007E/mgc_xmega64 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/MGC_module.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/MGC_module.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MGC module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask 0x007E before reusing the design.
