About the Muek-TGLBoard PCB

Muek-TGLBoard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Beo-Coder, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 32 mm, with 175 components from 19 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the W25Q16JVUXIQ TR and AP2112K-3.3. By type, the board carries 128 diodes, 29 capacitors, 11 resistors, 3 ICs, 2 switches and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

This project is a small low profile PCB LED matrix that can be used as a name tag or to display various text and animations and to play games.

If you have your own "programmable" version, you can read more about programming here

The electronics consist of an RP2040 microcontroller and a 2 MB (16 Mbit) flash IC. You can read more about the electronic here

To program the board, you can use SWD on the Tag-Connect connector on the backside as well as on the custom pads on the backside. It is also possible to program the board over USB-C, but this needs further hardware modifications (Read more…

Muek-TGLBoard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Muek-TGLBoard use?

The Muek-TGLBoard is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Muek-TGLBoard PCB?

The Muek-TGLBoard measures 80 × 32 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Muek-TGLBoard?

175 components, from 19 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 Muek-TGLBoard design files?

From the Beo-Coder/muek-TGLBoard 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 Muek-TGLBoard design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Muek-TGLBoard 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.
