That premade Arduinoboy looks gorgeous, I'll probably be buying one from you soon.

I love your LED placement and the button. Keeping the PCB flush with the top-panel is pretty damn intuitive.
What is under your button though? An smt push-button? Can it be powered via the Gameboy?

You're going to love this...

It's a full sized push button. There's actually a huge hole right in the middle of the PCB to accommodate the footprint.
I considered using a through hole PCB mounted button, but it took up too much space. I don't know SMT yet :-(

Haha, awesome. It must have an arcade-authentic feel too. Love it.

I tested a while back with Nanoloop with success. Let me recheck and I'll get back to you later tonight.
For Nanoloop, the Arduinoboy receives a MIDI clock signal and syncs to it. You can't send MIDI Note data to Nanoloop or have it send a clock to sync other devices.

As soon as I sell these 6, I'm going to order a batch of 10 PCBs for kits. At the very latest, mid January. I want hold to off until I get a sense of how people respond to the open enclosure style.
Here's a link to the eagle file and the gerber docs. You can send it to a place like OSH park and get a batch of 3 printed for like $30.

CORRECTION:
The resistor marked 270 below the 6N138 and between the two 220 resistors is ACTUALLY 4.7k

Thanks for the input herr. Any chance you could share you experiences with me/us? It's really helpful for me to understand what happens to my devices after they leave me shop.
