SKYWAY-96: common questions

What microcontroller does the SKYWAY-96 use?

The SKYWAY-96 is built around the C2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the SKYWAY-96 PCB?

The SKYWAY-96 measures 362 × 114.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the SKYWAY-96?

281 components, from 21 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 SKYWAY-96 design files?

From the RivasMario/SKYWAY-96 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 SKYWAY-96 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the SKYWAY-96 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.
