Reverse-Engineering a Switch Lite with 1,917 wires

The author provides detailed instructions on how to view and extract netlist data from a Nintendo Switch Lite logic board using OpenBoardView. The process involves creating panoramic images of the PCB, desoldering components, probing connections, and extracting a complete mapping of hidden connections. The author mentions limitations such as the large file sizes of the panoramas and the use of basic part/pad outlines. They highlight their background in Electronics Contract Manufacturing and emphasize the experimental nature of the project, combining internet freelancing with master soldering. The author requests donations to further develop the process and make it reproducible. Contact information is provided for feedback and subscription options.
