Bongo pod: common questions

What microcontroller does the Bongo pod use?

The Bongo pod is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico_SMD, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Bongo pod PCB?

The Bongo pod measures 156 × 72 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Bongo pod?

43 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Bongo pod design files?

From the BeanieMen/Bongo-pod repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Bongo pod design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Bongo pod 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.
