CaravelPmod: common questions

What microcontroller does the CaravelPmod use?

The CaravelPmod is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the CaravelPmod PCB?

The CaravelPmod measures 66.1 × 91 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CaravelPmod?

36 components, from 18 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the CaravelPmod design files?

From the mdrobot7/senior-design-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the CaravelPmod design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with mdrobot7. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the CaravelPmod 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.
