Weatherbox: common questions

What microcontroller does the Weatherbox use?

The Weatherbox is built around the Raspberry Pi Pico W, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Weatherbox PCB?

The Weatherbox measures 57.5 × 52.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Weatherbox?

20 components, from 9 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Weatherbox design files?

From the inventor02/weatherbox repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Weatherbox design in my own project?

It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.

Can I test firmware for the Weatherbox 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.
