We present an open project by Kim Jorgensen, the schematic diagram, gerber files and firmware are available on the author’s GitHub, we have reworked this project, changed and optimized the PCB layout. Added an through-hole LED (optional), used a modern Type-C connector
Hardware
There are three buttons on the cartridge; a reset button, a menu button for starting the launcher, and a special button that is used by the freezer cartridges.
The PCB will fit the Stumpy Cartridge Case from TFW8b, you just need to drill some holes for the buttons and make a cut for the microSD card. If you have mounted the USB connector you will need to cut a hole for that as well.
