About the Bench Top Cell Incubator PCB

Bench Top Cell Incubator is an open source Raspberry Pi PCB design by AryanPROFFESOR, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a board, with 30 components from 18 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico_W, from the Raspberry Pi family. Other key parts include the TPS5430DDA, AMS1117-3.3, MAX31865xAP and SHT4x. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 7 capacitors, 6 connectors, 4 ICs, 1 module and 1 diode.

Bench Top Cell Incubator: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bench Top Cell Incubator use?

The Bench Top Cell Incubator is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico_W, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How many components are on the Bench Top Cell Incubator?

30 components, from 18 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 Bench Top Cell Incubator design files?

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

Can I use the Bench Top Cell Incubator design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Bench Top Cell Incubator without the hardware?

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