Unofficial KiCad template for a 2019 Hackaday Superconference Badge Cartridge

Cartridge template render

This template can be used as a starting point to make a cartridge for the Supercon badge, that will mate with the 40 pin expansion connector on the back of the badge.

WARNING: This design is unofficial, and has NOT been tested

It's using an angled 2x20 pin male header, a w25q128 SPI flash and a 100nF cap. The schematic has the pins named using global nets, so it's easy to simply add in your own stuff.

Version 1.2 update

This updated version fixes an error in the pin connections on the cartridge connector (the two columns was flipped for some signals) and adds a copper pour (connected to GND) on the bottom layer too.

Special note about the original version

If you want to use a PCB based on the original version with incorrect connections, it is possible to make a hardware hack on the 20x2 angeled header, where you move the pins around and bend some of them a bit, very precisely.
