Kicad test: common questions

What microcontroller does the Kicad test use?

The Kicad test is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Kicad test PCB?

The Kicad test measures 52 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.

How many components are on the Kicad test?

30 components, from 14 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 Kicad test design files?

From the boredom101/kicad-test repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Kicad test design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with boredom101. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Kicad test 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.
