Pc64: common questions
What microcontroller does the Pc64 use?
The Pc64 is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Pc64 PCB?
The Pc64 measures 86.1 × 88.9 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Pc64?
34 components, from 18 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Pc64 design files?
From the khill25/Dreamdrive repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Pc64 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 Pc64 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.
