By type, the board carries 7 capacitors, 3 inductors and 2 connectors.

It belongs with the audio and rf & radio designs in this gallery.

From the project

Direct-RF-Synthesis CW Beacon PoC using Raspberry Pi Pico. No Si5351 is needed. HF and VHF fox! Have fun! ;) Comes with 5W amplifier + LPF!

This project generates a RF signal by toggling a GPIO pin (of a Raspberry Pi Pico / Pico W board) at a high speed (HF frequency).

Note: This repository has pre-built firmware files in it (.uf2 files) for testing, and debugging purposes.

The following steps demonstrate the process of re-building the firmware from the source code.

To customize the CW message, CW speed, and the message, please edit the blink.pio and message.h files.

Panelized: common questions

How big is the Panelized PCB?

The Panelized measures 92.8 × 98.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Panelized?

12 components, from 6 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Panelized design files?

From the kholia/pico-cw-beacon-drs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Panelized 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.
