MiniRectangleDB is an open-source printed circuit board by quark-works, from the quark-works/OpenMiniRectangle repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 40 × 18.6 mm with 10 parts on 21 nets, routed with 106 tracks and 13 vias.
It is built around the USBLC6-2SC6. Its parts include 3 resistors, 2 ICs, 2 connectors and 1 fuse.
RP2040 template for use with box style controllers for the GC - CURRENTLY UNTESTED
This template was created for the purpose of easing development of box-styled controllers (rectangles) that work with a GameCube console and Nintendo 64 via a USB C to console cable. It uses a RP2040 as its main controller so compatibility to other devices will be limited to the firmware you are using. (Such as HayBox, Pico-Rectangle, etc). There's already a footprint added for a compatible USB-C port that will allow you to used said cables, as well as a USB C to C cable, or C to A cable for PC or Switch.
This templates requires for you to have a minium experience with Kicad and some EE basics. You can just download it as *.zip and start creating your own. Make sure you are using Kicad 7. The most finicky part of the template is
This template is not 1:1 with the Raspberry Pi Pico, so you will need to change some of the default pins in order to this to work. For example:
- VBUS sensing on the pico is GPIO24, while the template has it on GPIO28.
- PICO_LED is on GPIO25 on pico, while the template has it on GPIO27.
- Default pinout for GC has the data pin , template has it on GPIO29.
All of these changes can be seen (an edited!) in the schematic and the pcb. This was made only for convenience with the wiring. You should recompile the firmware you're planning on use to accomodate for these changes.
Reverted back to original Pico wiring! Thanks for the feedback!

10 parts, built around the USBLC6-2SC6. 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.
From the quark-works/OpenMiniRectangle repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is DaughterBoard/MiniRectangleDB.kicad_pcb and its schematic DaughterBoard/MiniRectangleDB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
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).
