GP2040-Converter: common questions

What microcontroller does the GP2040-Converter use?

The GP2040-Converter is built around the RP2040-Zero, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the GP2040-Converter PCB?

The GP2040-Converter measures 68 × 30.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the GP2040-Converter?

8 components, from 4 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 GP2040-Converter design files?

From the InfraredAces/GP2040-CE-projects 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 GP2040-Converter design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the GP2040-Converter 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.
