About the V0 PCB

V0 is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by alttpo, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 101.5 × 88.1 mm, with 43 components from 14 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RPi_Pico_SMD_TH, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the SN74LV165APWR, SN74LVC8T245PWR, PIC12F629-I/SN and AMS1117-3.3. By type, the board carries 17 resistors, 15 capacitors, 8 ICs, 1 module and 1 connector.

V0: common questions

What microcontroller does the V0 use?

The V0 is built around the RPi_Pico_SMD_TH, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the V0 PCB?

The V0 measures 101.5 × 88.1 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.2 mm thick.

How many components are on the V0?

43 components, from 14 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the V0 design files?

From the alttpo/pico-cart-snes repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the V0 design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which alttpo chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the V0 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.
