About the NG2040 Receiver PCB

NG2040 Receiver is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by partlyhuman, published on GitHub under the BSD-2-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 40 × 37 mm, with 18 components from 8 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RP2040-Zero, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the NRF24L01_Breakout. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 4 capacitors, 2 ICs, 1 connector and 1 switch.

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

From the project

A cute DIY RP2040+2.4GHz wireless controller for Neo Geo

This is a wireless joystick and receiver for Neo Geo consoles that I designed to meet these requirments:

Super compact joystick (6.5"x4.5" / 17x12cm) Super compact receiver (extends 1.5" / 4cm out from port) 3D printable Can use cheap Sanwa clones or the real thing No (less than 1 frame) of lag 2.4GHz radio, no pairing nonsense Long battery life with deep sleep USB-C rechargeable battery * PCB using JST for tidy button wiring

NG2040 Receiver: common questions

What microcontroller does the NG2040 Receiver use?

The NG2040 Receiver is built around the RP2040-Zero, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the NG2040 Receiver PCB?

The NG2040 Receiver measures 40 × 37 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the NG2040 Receiver?

18 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the NG2040 Receiver design files?

From the partlyhuman/ng2040 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the NG2040 Receiver design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its BSD-2-Clause license, which partlyhuman chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the NG2040 Receiver 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.
