Argus: common questions

What microcontroller does the Argus use?

The Argus is built around the RP2350_60QFN, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Argus PCB?

The Argus measures 29.6 × 54.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Argus?

42 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Argus design files?

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

Can I use the Argus design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which corvad chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Argus 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.
