The GGG GPWiz40 Breakout Board

[TigersharkBAS]

Hi gents,

Been looking for a way to make the current Groovy Game Gear (the version without screw terminals) more modular and cleaner to implement inside the box.

 

I have 3 pole female headers attached to ON-OFF-ON and ON-ON switches so I can connect and disconnect as I please to reconfigure the GGG should I want to use for a different panel.

 

So here it is.

 

It is flexible in that you can use a 3 poe header for the switch vertically or 2 pole switches horizontally.

 

GGG fixes to the board by soldering male pin headers into it and having it attach to female headers in the board. Like how an Arduino shield works.

 

Haven't tested it yet...but when I verify it works I can post the Gerber files in case anyone wants to manufacture their own.

PCB has arrived. I tested it and it works perfectly. I did get the spacing between the GGG pins a little off but managed to get it connected with a little massaging :-)
