About the Ninotnc ble PCB

Ninotnc ble is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by mumrah, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 85 × 56 mm, with 14 components from 9 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 7 connectors, 2 switches, 2 capacitors, 2 resistors and 1 IC.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

The pogo pins (JLCPCB part number C5157269) are listed as Economy PCBA, but really require Standard PCBA which is quite a bit more expensive. Also, the PCBA process for these pins is not super precise. All the boards I received had slight alignment issues. If you order this board

The pogo pins (JLCPCB part number C5157269) are listed as Economy PCBA, but really require Standard PCBA which is quite a bit more expensive. Also, the PCBA process for these pins is not super precise. All the boards I received had slight alignment issues. If you order this board, be sure to check the pins for shorts.

In the next revision, I will source a different part for the pogo connector.

Ninotnc ble: common questions

What microcontroller does the Ninotnc ble use?

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

How big is the Ninotnc ble PCB?

The Ninotnc ble measures 85 × 56 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Ninotnc ble?

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 Ninotnc ble design files?

From the mumrah/ninotnc-ble 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 Ninotnc ble design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which mumrah chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Ninotnc ble 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.
