DROPDECK: common questions

What microcontroller does the DROPDECK use?

The DROPDECK is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the DROPDECK PCB?

The DROPDECK measures 117.5 × 68.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the DROPDECK?

10 components, from 6 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 DROPDECK design files?

From the avadsariya0-coder/DROPDECK 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 DROPDECK design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which avadsariya0-coder chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the DROPDECK 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.
