Spike

Spike is a handheld gaming console based on ATMega Microcontrollers.

Spike

I've been playing around with this idea for a long while and the Spike is the current 'state-of-the-art' for me.

The main spike board has:

  • 128x64px monochrome OLED display
  • Piezo speaker
  • 7 buttons (plus reset)
  • 3.7v Lipo battery
  • Micro-USB port for charging & data

Spike Exploded

The shard board provides the brains and connects via an edge connector on the back of the main board.

Currently I'm using an ATMega1284p running at 16MHz.

I've written a little more detail on my blog.

Questions

How big is the Spike PCB?

It measures 85.3 × 35.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Spike use?

32 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 Spike KiCad files?

From the MalphasWats/Spike repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Spike design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MalphasWats before reusing the design.
