Flipper Zero: Gameboy Link Port Module

Gameboy link port module

This is a module I worked on as a project to learn about PCB design, but to also learn about KiCAD, which is the program that was used to create this. I used GAME BOY Pokemon Trading MALVEKE to create this. Check is out because he is a way smarter guy than I.

If you want a simple way to get the PCB it is up in OshPark.

I use his GPIO layout so you will want to do the same on your flipper zero. If you use his Pokemon app in flipper.net then it will be the under "Select Pinout" > "Original".

Copied shamelessly off of his Github. GPIO Layout

Questions

How big is the FilpperZero Gameboy Link V2 PCB?

It measures 14 × 12.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the FilpperZero Gameboy Link V2 use?

5 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 FilpperZero Gameboy Link V2 KiCad files?

From the BoredModder/FilpperZero_Gameboy_Link repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is FilpperZero_Gameboy_Link_V2.kicad_pcb and its schematic FilpperZero_Gameboy_Link_V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the FilpperZero Gameboy Link V2 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC0-1.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
