1.1 Changelog:
Added indicators for the chips and header to make the pcb easier to assemble
Added indicator for LED positioning
Reduced pcb height by 0.3mm
Fixed positioning of cartridge reader guide holes
Renamed IC1 and IC3 to make more sense
1.2 Changelog:
Reduced pcb height by 1.4mm
Relocated componetnts to fit within the new size
Modified footprint for cart reader
Replaced the crystal (ECS-60-32-5PXDN-TR) with FQ1045A-6.000 to as this component is only 1.7mm tall instead of 4.3mm
1.3 Changelog:
- Fixed incorrect crystal footprint
1.4 Changelog:
- Fixed incorrect wiring to crystal
1.5 Changelog:
Replaced the micro usb port with a USB Type C port
Removed the ISP header in favor of flashing using the cart bus https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/OUjmrtRg
Replaced the crystal with one that is smaller and does not require 2 capacitors
Removed redundant capacitors
Removed the leds for TXD and RXD and their resistors
Reduced board width by 0.3mm
Reduced board height by 1.8mm
Reduced board layers from 4 to 2, this cuts the price in half
Reduced the size of the cart reader footprint, this now requires some trimming of the pins to fit
