Black box: common questions

What microcontroller does the Black box use?

The Black box is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Black box PCB?

The Black box measures 84 × 59 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Black box?

8 components, from 4 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 Black box design files?

From the pizzalover125/black-box 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 Black box design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with pizzalover125. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Black box 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.
