Book-Ch1: common questions

What microcontroller does the Book-Ch1 use?

The Book-Ch1 is built around the Left Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Book-Ch1 PCB?

The Book-Ch1 measures 21 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Book-Ch1?

11 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Book-Ch1 design files?

From the bwindrim/KiCAD repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Book-Ch1 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Book-Ch1 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.
