VColChoc44: common questions

What microcontroller does the VColChoc44 use?

The VColChoc44 is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the VColChoc44 PCB?

The VColChoc44 measures 234 × 88 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the VColChoc44?

121 components, from 19 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the VColChoc44 design files?

From the jpconstantineau/VColChoc44 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the VColChoc44 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the VColChoc44 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.
