RP2040 minimal: common questions

What microcontroller does the RP2040 minimal use?

The RP2040 minimal is built around the W25Q128JVS, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the RP2040 minimal PCB?

The RP2040 minimal measures 42.2 × 48.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.

How many components are on the RP2040 minimal?

97 components, from 24 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 RP2040 minimal design files?

From the leonidas213/picoDrone 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 RP2040 minimal design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with leonidas213. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the RP2040 minimal 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.
