My name is Hendra, I love embedded Project and also I love retro gaming. One of my favorite handheld console is the Gameboy and two years a go a guy named kevin bates launched a kickstarter product called Arduboy, which you can already tell from its name, it is a gameboy made from Arduino development Board. It also a fully open source console made from oshw dan open source software called Arduino (Duh)

Unfortunately the Arduboy is a bit expensive to me, So I try to made my one with my scattered hardware and my basic soldering skill using a trough Hole PCB and made my first DIY Arduboy

The first Prototype was a success but still there a problem with the power because as seems on the picture above, I use 2 coin cell battery which last only 10-20 Minutes. So I Came with another prototype which use a 1000 mAh lipo battery Instead. And it runs for days in a single charge.

Now I want other people enjoy the excitement that I felt with making their own handheld console by making A PCB which they can solder directly using few components.

I already have two PCB models in Mind one is a vertical 1 Layer mode

and other is two layer Horizontal Mode which is in the PCB Design Above

Version 2 updated in the gerber file

COMPONENTS

The Arduboy clone only consist of few components which are:

1. Arduino Pro Micro
2. 6x6x6 tactile/push button
3. 0.96 SPI Oled Screen
4. buzzer
5. TP4056 battery charging module
6. Headers/Jumpers

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS

Just put the components accordingly and solder all the part
