About the RP2040 Minimal Design Example PCB
RP2040 Minimal Design Example is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Ovens-Syntax, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 52 × 51 mm, with 30 components from 14 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the NCP1117ST33T3G and W25Q128JVS. By type, the board carries 17 capacitors, 5 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs and 1 crystal.
It belongs with the keyboards and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
a keyboard pcb by me with a slightly tweaked 75% layout (sorry im too lazy to integrate mcu so matrix pcb connects to dauter/dev board)

RP2040 Minimal Design Example: common questions
What microcontroller does the RP2040 Minimal Design Example use?
The RP2040 Minimal Design Example is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the RP2040 Minimal Design Example PCB?
The RP2040 Minimal Design Example measures 52 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.
How many components are on the RP2040 Minimal Design Example?
30 components, from 14 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 RP2040 Minimal Design Example design files?
From the Ovens-Syntax/Steam75 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the RP2040 Minimal Design Example design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which Ovens-Syntax chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the RP2040 Minimal Design Example 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.
