mgl_switch

PCB layout This is a replacement switch for the Game Boy Light. The original MGL switch is an unusual 3PDT for which a suitable replacement isn't currently known. This design uses a standard SP3T switch and mosfets to replicate the ability to turn on the system and back light with a single switch.

About this repo

This repo consists of three main components:

  • Kicad 7 source files(in root)
  • PDF schematic(in artifacts)
  • Gerbers(in artifacts)
