About the Ppeb sidemount PCB
Ppeb sidemount is an open source PCB design by dabonetn, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 105.2 × 51 mm, with 26 components from 16 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the APS6404L-3SQR-SN, 74LVC245 and 74HC138. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 6 ICs, 4 capacitors, 3 transistors and 2 connectors.
From the project
PPEBcr - Surface Mount version of the PPEB by JasonACT
The board should come with all the SMD components if you order it assembled from JLCPCB.
- Verify BOM and parts list — exact part sourcing may vary depending on vendor and regional availability. - Work on an ESD-safe work surface. - If unsure about SMD soldering, seek assistance.
- Pico W module solders to the board using the castellated edges on the Pico. - Verify correct alignment: - USB port facing front of board - Pin 1 correctly oriented - On the underside, make sure TP5 is exposed in the cutout. - I usually use pin 20 as the first one to align the pico on the board. - Apply soldering…
