Pico Pocket386: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pico Pocket386 use?

The Pico Pocket386 is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Pico Pocket386 PCB?

The Pico Pocket386 measures 65.6 × 41.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pico Pocket386?

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

Where can I download the Pico Pocket386 design files?

From the HeathenUK/Pico_Pocket386 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Pico Pocket386 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Pico Pocket386 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.
