Hackboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Hackboard use?

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

How big is the Hackboard PCB?

The Hackboard measures 305.9 × 122.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Hackboard?

178 components, from 14 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Hackboard design files?

From the pizzalover125/hackboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Hackboard 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 Hackboard 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.
