Looking for building your own console? The 8BitCade XL is a full size educational DIY console. 



Check out the latest make video for the 8BitCADE XL that shows you how to build your console, step by step. Oh, and don't forget we have the PDF Make guide! The Make Guide also includes the part dictionary which goes over all of the electronics used in the console and how they work – to teach you the basics of electronics!

LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING

Play over 200+ (and still counting) Arduboy & Retro themed games organised in an easy to use menu system that comes preinstalled on your console! Need more games? Head on over to our game section to discover our ever-expanding game library or Arduboy.com to play new compatible community-created games! Solder the last joint and get gaming!

LEARN MORE ABOUT MAKING

The Learn section begins with the Arduino Introductory booklet that covers the basics of Arduino using the console. After that, we advise beginners to head on over and explore the other foundation tutorials (this covers some basic principles of coding such as arrays, functions and even classes). After that, you learn to code a calculator, Pong or even Tetris.

Overview

Who is the 8BitCADE XL for?


A DIY console YOU make

We believe that consumers should become creators! So that’s why our consoles are something that you can build, hack, program and rip apart to learn more about electronics and coding.


Over 150 pages of detailed guides ranging from the basics of code to how to solder!

Justin Crane - Proud 8BitCADER, maker and 11 Year old as of March 6th!

A project for everyone - from beginners to the experienced.

All of our consoles are packed to the max with STEM educational content! We just had to break it down into 3 areas: Make, Game, Learn.

It doesn’t matter who you are, you can learn and indulge yourself in exploring & learning one, two or even all of the three areas!

Great little product

Bought this for my son's 11th birthday, the YouTube instructions were awesome. Took about 3 hours for him(us) to solder it all together and he loves it and the full experience of making it. FYI make sure you trim the header pins on the back of the screen quite short, or buy some extra nylon spacers, as the solder touches the battery when the back is ******* on and shorts the screen. Other than that, brilliant, arrived quickly too.
