a mini arcade in a gameboy style look, with 4 games inter-switchable by long-pressing the first button.
Included Games
-
Simon Says: memory game where a sequence is shown and you have to press the exact same one
-
Whack-a-LED: click the corresponding button to the led before the timer runs out (like Whack a Mole)
-
LED Chase: use the D-pad shaped buttons to navigate to the glowing led as fast as possible
-
Code Cracker: try to guess a randomly code like a detective

Questions
How big is the Clackade PCB?
It measures 61.3 × 97.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Clackade use?
19 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 Clackade KiCad files?
From the parimoksha/clackade repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is clackade.kicad_pcb and its schematic clackade.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Clackade design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask parimoksha before reusing the design.
