Pico player: common questions

What microcontroller does the Pico player use?

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

How big is the Pico player PCB?

The Pico player measures 57.9 × 65.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Pico player?

23 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Pico player design files?

From the jstanley0/pico-player repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

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

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which jstanley0 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Pico player 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.
