Starfish: common questions
What microcontroller does the Starfish use?
The Starfish is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Starfish PCB?
The Starfish measures 100 × 100 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Starfish?
220 components, from 65 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Starfish design files?
From the clintonimaroo/Sketcha repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Starfish design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with clintonimaroo. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Starfish 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.
