Gear60 solder: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gear60 solder use?

The Gear60 solder is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Gear60 solder PCB?

The Gear60 solder measures 284.2 × 93.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gear60 solder?

196 components, from 25 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gear60 solder design files?

From the cosmosalad/Gear60 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Gear60 solder design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Gear60 solder 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.
