TaschenOper: common questions

What microcontroller does the TaschenOper use?

The TaschenOper is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the TaschenOper PCB?

The TaschenOper measures 60 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the TaschenOper?

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

Where can I download the TaschenOper design files?

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

Can I use the TaschenOper design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the TaschenOper 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.
