Questions
How big is the MBC5-Flashcart PCB?
It measures 51 × 60.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.
What parts does the MBC5-Flashcart use?
20 parts, built around the 74LVC1G332GW,125, FM18W08-PG and BC817-40,215. 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 MBC5-Flashcart KiCad files?
From the HDR/MBC5-Flashcart repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/MBC5_Flashcart.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/MBC5_Flashcart.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MBC5-Flashcart design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask HDR before reusing the design.
