Fudge board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Fudge board use?
The Fudge board is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Fudge board?
The Fudge board measures 21 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Fudge board?
50 components, from 23 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Fudge board design files?
From the mudd-spec/fudge-board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Fudge board design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with mudd-spec. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Fudge board 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.
