About the MainBoard PCB
MainBoard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by mathe-mmr, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 99.1 × 52.5 mm, with 19 components from 13 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the MCP4728-E_UN. By type, the board carries 6 connectors, 5 resistors, 2 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 module.
It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
An cool looking dashboard for your PC!
This is an resource monitor for your PC, also featuring an macropad, inspired by Alex Bailey's system monitor and Hack Club's hackpad program! It allows you to take a quick glance and see your system information, while keeping the screen free for anything you do! This was made after watching , I've been wanting to make it for 2 years now! I also added an hackpad after seeing the very helpful

MainBoard: common questions
What microcontroller does the MainBoard use?
The MainBoard is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the MainBoard PCB?
The MainBoard measures 99.1 × 52.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MainBoard?
19 components, from 13 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 MainBoard design files?
From the mathe-mmr/AnaDash 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 MainBoard design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which mathe-mmr chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the MainBoard 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.
