1608 refill: common questions
What microcontroller does the 1608 refill use?
The 1608 refill is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the 1608 refill PCB?
The 1608 refill measures 100 × 100 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the 1608 refill?
65 components, from 35 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the 1608 refill design files?
From the Jackson-Wiessing/ECE445-Refill_Dispensary repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the 1608 refill design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Jackson-Wiessing. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the 1608 refill 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.
