I borrowed a Cricut cartridge for a quick tear-down. Here's the "front" (the side that faces away from the cutter) of a "Cricut Sampler" cartridge:
And here's the back:
The markings don't show up in the picture, but the big chip on the PCB is an
Header Pin | ATmega16 Pin |
---|---|
1 | 2 - MISO |
2 | 5 - VCC |
3 | 3 - SCK |
4 | 1 - MOSI |
5 | 4 - RST |
6 | 6 - GND |
From the markings on the PCB, I would imagine that most cartridge hardware is identical.
