About the Devboard PCB

Devboard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by NZ-2011, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 21.3 × 51.2 mm, with 33 components from 16 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the MCP1700x-330xxTT and W25Q16JVUXIQ TR. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 7 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs, 1 crystal and 1 switch.

It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts and sensors designs in this gallery.

From the project

devboard is like an tiny computer that can fit in ur hand.it let you build and test ur own electronics gadgets.its the brain that controls stuff like lights,motors,sensors based on ur code.u can plug it in ur laptop or computer.

2-plug the devboard in ur computer or laptop with a good USB cable (a normal cable will work too)

4-connect real stuff. like LEDs,button etc (always unplug USB before toiching wires)

Devboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Devboard use?

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

How big is the Devboard PCB?

The Devboard measures 21.3 × 51.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Devboard?

33 components, from 16 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 Devboard design files?

From the NZ-2011/devboard 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 Devboard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with NZ-2011. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Devboard 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.
