Tinker pod v3: common questions

What microcontroller does the Tinker pod v3 use?

The Tinker pod v3 is built around the Seeed Studio XIAO SAMD21, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Tinker pod v3 PCB?

The Tinker pod v3 measures 51.8 × 52.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Tinker pod v3?

23 components, from 12 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Tinker pod v3 design files?

From the juansulca/tinker-pod repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Tinker pod v3 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Tinker pod v3 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.
