Questions

How big is the GameBrian v0.1 PCB?

It measures 50.5 × 66.4 mm and has 6 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the GameBrian v0.1 use?

121 parts, built around the TLV62568DBV and TLV73325PDBV. 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 GameBrian v0.1 KiCad files?

From the ME-IRL/GameBrian repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/GameBrian_v0.1/GameBrian_v0.1.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/GameBrian_v0.1/GameBrian_v0.1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the GameBrian v0.1 design in my own project?

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