About the Virgil Power PCB

Virgil Power is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by da-penguin-guy, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 89 × 113 mm, with 67 components from 23 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-RP2040-SMD, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the TPS563300, INA226, AG59612-LPB, MCP4562T-503E/MF and LTV-356T. By type, the board carries 27 capacitors, 14 resistors, 13 ICs, 8 diodes, 3 inductors and 2 connectors.

It belongs with the audio and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

The Proteus is a modular collection of PCBs that will be used to develop the Virgil sound Protocol

The Proteus is a modular collection of PCBs that will be used to develop the Virgil sound Protocol

Formerly known as the Virgil Controller, the Proteus is named after Proteus, a minor god from greek mythology. I chose this name because in Virgil's Georgics, he rapidly changes form, similar to how the Proteus is fully modular and can change quickly.

The Proteus doesn't fall into a good product class, primarily because this hasn't ever been done before. The best analog would be some midi controller, like the Behringer X-touch. However, this varies from that in several cases. Firstly, it will…

Virgil Power: common questions

What microcontroller does the Virgil Power use?

The Virgil Power is built around the XIAO-RP2040-SMD, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Virgil Power PCB?

The Virgil Power measures 89 × 113 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Virgil Power?

67 components, from 23 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Virgil Power design files?

From the da-penguin-guy/Proteus repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Virgil Power design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Virgil Power 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.
