About
This template was created for the purpose of easing development of box-styled controllers (rectangles) that work with a GameCube console and Nintendo 64 via a USB C to console cable. It uses a RP2040 as its main controller so compatibility to other devices will be limited to the firmware you are using. (Such as HayBox, Pico-Rectangle, etc). There's already a footprint added for a compatible USB-C port that will allow you to used said cables, as well as a USB C to C cable, or C to A cable for PC or Switch.
Labels are already assigned to the default pinout of the most popular firmware available as well as in stock parts for every component from LCSC. I recommend using the Fabrication Toolkit plugin that can be installed through KiCad's PCM.
Usage
This templates requires for you to have a minium experience with Kicad and some EE basics. You can just download it as .zip and start creating your own. Make sure you are using Kicad 7.
- Download as a zip or clone the repository.
- Open KiCad (7 or newer!) and go to File -> New Project from Template
- Select the tab "User Templates" and click on the Folder icon top right.
- Look for the directory where the kicad project is and open it.
- Template should load. Just click OK and everything will be imported into your project.
To-do:
- Write a more extensive guide.
- Feature more projects.

Questions
How big is the MotorMonster PCB?
It measures 109.5 × 65 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.63 mm thick.
What parts does the MotorMonster use?
83 parts, built around the RP2040, LM5164DDA, W25Q128JVSIQ and TMC2160-TA. 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 MotorMonster KiCad files?
From the CarVac/MotorMonster repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MotorMonster/MotorMonster.kicad_pcb and its schematic MotorMonster/Drivers.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MotorMonster design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
