About the No shorts PCB

No shorts is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by pashutk, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 21 × 51 mm, with 37 components from 11 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi-Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the TCA6424ARGJR. By type, the board carries 28 resistors, 4 jumpers, 2 connectors, 1 IC, 1 module and 1 capacitor.

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

From the project

USB-C testing hat for Pi Pico: A KiCad project to detect soldering shorts in USB-C connectors

This repository contains a KiCad project for a Raspberry Pi Pico hat. The primary function of this device is to aid in the assessment of soldered USB-C connectors by identifying potential shorts. It offers a practical solution for those requiring a methodical approach to verify the integrity of their soldered USB-C connections.

No shorts: common questions

What microcontroller does the No shorts use?

The No shorts is built around the RaspberryPi-Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the No shorts PCB?

The No shorts measures 21 × 51 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 0.8 mm thick.

How many components are on the No shorts?

37 components, from 11 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the No shorts design files?

From the pashutk/no-shorts repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the No shorts design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the No shorts 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.
