RP2040 template for use with box style controllers for the GC - CURRENTLY UNTESTED
This template was created for the purpose of easing development of box-styled controllers (rectangles) that work with a GameCube console and Nintendo 64 via a USB C to console cable. It uses a RP2040 as its main controller so compatibility to other devices will be limited to the firmware you are using. (Such as HayBox, Pico-Rectangle, etc). There's already a footprint added for a compatible USB-C port that will allow you to used said cables, as well as a USB C to C cable, or C to A cable for PC or Switch.
This templates requires for you to have a minium experience with Kicad and some EE basics. You can just download it as *.zip and start creating your own. Make sure you are using Kicad 7.
