Overview
Basic emulator is an open-source printed circuit board by FromDarkHell, from the FromDarkHell/EmuToLife repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 47 × 61.7 mm with 34 parts on 49 nets, routed with 280 tracks and 7 vias.
It is built around the PAM8302AADCR and WS2812B. Its parts include 14 capacitors, 7 diodes, 3 resistors and 1 IC. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.
Main components

README.mdEmuToLife
EmuToLife is a USB emulator for LEGO Dimensions, Disney Infinity, and Kamen Rider Summonride.
It lets you use a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W (or W) as a replacement for an official toys-to-life pad. With this, you can play the game on PS3/Wii U/PS4, or (retail!) Xbox 360, without the original playpad.
Setup
- Purchase a Pi Pico 2W, and plug it in while holding the BOOTSEL button
- Drag/drop the
.uf2(available on Github Releases) onto the new USB device- If successful, the Pico will restart.
- On the first boot, the Pico will create a new WiFi network named
captive.- Connect to the
captiveWiFi network, and it will bring you to a captive portal
- Connect to the
- From here, it will restart, and conect to your home WiFi.
- Then, afterwards, you can connect to it via mDNS by going to
emupad.localin a browser.
Features
- Wi-Fi captive portal for first-time setup
- Local web UI for managing the toy/character portal (spawning tags, etc.)
- Tag reading/writing/etc handled by my ToysToLifeLib library
- Full retail Xbox 360 support, powered by libxsm3 by InvoxiPlayGames

Questions
How big is the Basic emulator PCB?
It measures 47 × 61.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Basic emulator use?
34 parts, built around the PAM8302AADCR 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 Basic emulator KiCad files?
From the FromDarkHell/EmuToLife repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is schematic/basic-emulator.kicad_pcb and its schematic schematic/basic-emulator.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Basic emulator 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).
