It is built around the RB551VM-30TE-17 and WS2812B. Its parts include 4 resistors, 3 diodes, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.
Main components
2README
README.mdPi Pico modchip adapter for Original Xbox
This version is based on the 'V1 version' by Team Resurgent (including Shalx)
See the V0.2 release for the support of the original "ModXo" by Shalx
Easy to solder
All components can be soldered 'though hole' at home and the Pico/resistors also have 'surface mount' options, making it ideal for hobbyists or mass production.
Fully open source
The KiCad (free application) source files (full schematics!) are included, so you can add/remove components based on your preferences.
SMBus
Currently ModXo doesn't implement reading SMBus via I2C, in the future this could add functionality such as monitoring temperature/fanspeed, LED control or restarting/shutdown the xbox remotely. Especially if paired with the Pi Pico Wireless, it could allow basic remote control / monitoring of the xbox. However, there's two solder jumpers to connect the SMBus of the Xbox to the Pi Pico.

Questions
How big is the Pico ModXo PCB?
It measures 65 × 56 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pico ModXo use?
16 parts, built around the RB551VM-30TE-17 and WS2812B. 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 Pico ModXo KiCad files?
From the Electrical5/Pico-ModXo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad source files/pico-modxo.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad source files/libraries/KiCad-RP-Pico-main/Test/Test.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pico ModXo design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
