About the FEE560 project PCB

FEE560 project is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by DanMuthomi, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 93.5 × 77.5 mm, with 14 components from 12 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RASPBERRY_PI_PICO, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the LM2596_buck_converter and RFM69HCW LoRa module. By type, the board carries 4 connectors, 3 ICs, 3 diodes, 3 resistors and 1 relay.

It belongs with the rf & radio designs in this gallery.

FEE560 project: common questions

What microcontroller does the FEE560 project use?

The FEE560 project is built around the RASPBERRY_PI_PICO, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the FEE560 project PCB?

The FEE560 project measures 93.5 × 77.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the FEE560 project?

14 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the FEE560 project design files?

From the DanMuthomi/FEE560_project repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the FEE560 project design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the FEE560 project 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.
