Mini Keychain Game Console

PCB

PCBs are amazing things and can be used to develop great electronic tools while also being used for fun and education. To further expand my knowledge on PCB designing while also having some fun, I decided to assemble a portable gaming console that you can hang on your keychain and play games on such as pong. With this in mind, my goal was to replicate a system and see how well I can follow the directions set by the original creator and see if my attempt at the system outputs the same results as the original. Going over the general task of understanding the PCB layout, ordering it via an online vendor to get it built, and finding the correct THT and SMT components to solder to the system. It was an overall experience to further understand via trial and error how well I can follow the steps, learning what I could do differently or improve to make the guidelines for replicating the system more clearly, and going through the challenge of accumulating the correct parts and ensuring they are delivered with enough time to test and re-order if needed.
