OSCR HW5 PCB Kit - Past Revisions

Don't care about a feature/change in a newer HW5 revision and want to save a little money? Order a past revision and save some money plus help us clear out old stock!

Contains the following bare PCBs needed to build your own HW5:

• Main PCB
  • Revision 5 (Latest, for comparison)
    • Added RTC (real-time clock).
    • Removed the LCD solder jumper and the test pads that are no longer needed.
    • Improved the silkscreen.
  • Revision 4
    • Added VSelect (automatic voltage selection) to the main PCB.
      • If you get an earlier revision you can add VSelect by using the VSelect module PCB (see below).
    • Updated logo text to include a new logo.
  • Revision 3
    • Added the test pads (these are the ones that were later removed in Rev 5)
  • Revision 2 (Unavailable)
    • Moved switches to the right side of the PCB
  • Revision  1 (Unavailable)
    • Initial revision.
• Six-Slot Adapter PCB
  • Will be revision 2 or newer, changes to this PCB have not been significant so selection is unavailable.
  • Here are the changes, if you are still curious:
    • Revision 4 (Latest, for comparison)
      • Updated silkscreen
      • Added +12V rail for N64 (not yet supported by HW5)
    • Revision 3
      • Changed N64 controller adapter pitch. This was a minor change and didn't affect the usability of the controller adapter.
      • Added JLCPCB's text for specifying order number location. (This was added later, so more of a "Rev 3.1", though still labeled Rev 3)
    • Revision 2
      • Fixed an error in the CIC circuit that was causing it not to work. This was a breaking fix.
    • Revision 1 (Unavailable)
      • Initial revision.
      • Unavailable because the error on it is significant. Do not use the Rev 1 six-slot adapter.
• CIC Chip PCB
  • These have never undergone a revision, so the one you get will be the latest.
• (Optional) VSelect Module
  • When getting a PCB it can be Rev 1 or 2. It only affects which side of the PCB it goes on.
  • Option meanings:
    • "Not included": Don't include any additional VSelect components (...obviously).
    • "Included": You only get the PCB, no components. Don't select this if you chose Rev 4 or newer as it doesn't do anything!
    • "Included, unassembled": You get the VSelect components but they will not be assembled. If selecting a revision prior to Rev 4 then this also includes the module PCB.
    • "Included, assembled": VSelect will be pre-assembled. If you chose Rev 4 or newer it will be on the main PCB, otherwise, an assembled module will be included.

Note: If this product is listed as out of stock do not order it.
