Memetrol base: common questions

What microcontroller does the Memetrol base use?

The Memetrol base is built around the rp2040-zero, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Memetrol base PCB?

The Memetrol base measures 64 × 130 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Memetrol base?

81 components, from 21 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Memetrol base design files?

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

Can I use the Memetrol base design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Memetrol base 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.
