### Important: This is still a work in progress and PCB files might contain errors.
The Open Source Cart Reader consists out of a main PCB that connects an Arduino Mega to different cartridge slot adapters.
Tested systems so far:
- GB(C)
- GBA
- N64
- SNES
- Master System
- Mega Drive

To order a PCB you need to download the zipped gerber files and upload them to a PCB manufacturer. You don't have to change any of the settings but you can select a color you like.

You can view the schematic and the PCB files using a free and open source programm called [KiCad 6.0](https://www.kicad.org/).
To design your own adapters you can follow this [tutorial](https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/Designing-your-own-Adapters)
