About the Bionix PCB

Bionix is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Araadh3111, published on GitHub. It is a board, with 9 components from 4 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 1 module and 1 battery holder.

It belongs with the robotics & motion and power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

A really cool bionic hand (my first project btw)!!!

An open-source, EMG-controlled bionic hand engineered for the IRIS National Science Fair. Bionix features a custom tendon-driven mechanical design, frictionless brass-rod joints, and an antagonistic elastic return system.

Bionix: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bionix use?

The Bionix is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How many components are on the Bionix?

9 components, from 4 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 Bionix design files?

From the Araadh3111/Bionix repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Bionix design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Araadh3111. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Bionix 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.
