Controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Controller use?

The Controller is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico_W, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the Controller PCB?

The Controller measures 128 × 64.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Controller?

14 components, from 9 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 Controller design files?

From the KrishP08/Controller 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 Controller design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with KrishP08. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Controller without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
