You've landed on a CX40 replacement board project! Well there's not much here right now but the eventual goals are to have Joy2B+ supporting PCBs which can fit inside of a CX40/CX40 clone housing, with upgraded, nicer feeling tactile switches instead of the CX40's original metal domes.

Current goals...

1. CX40 Drop in replacement board 2. Making positioning during install process less tedious 3. Joy2B+ Support and other enhancements

Current phase is pre-alpha, there is not a working prototype yet. I will be uploading prototypes here and marking them as so, and will label a release board. Potential upgrades in the future could include debouncing.

The project is licensed under the MIT license.

Questions

How big is the CX40-Replacement PCB?

It measures 81 × 60 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CX40-Replacement use?

6 parts. 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 CX40-Replacement KiCad files?

From the Astal4/CX40-Atari-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CX40-Replacement.kicad_pcb and its schematic CX40-Replacement.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CX40-Replacement design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
