VintageKVM: common questions

What microcontroller does the VintageKVM use?

The VintageKVM is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the VintageKVM PCB?

The VintageKVM measures 200 × 73.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VintageKVM?

120 components, from 16 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the VintageKVM design files?

From the akuker/hw_projects repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the VintageKVM design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its BSD-3-Clause license, which akuker chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the VintageKVM without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
