Attempt: common questions
What microcontroller does the Attempt use?
The Attempt is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Attempt PCB?
The Attempt measures 50.9 × 36.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Attempt?
23 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Attempt design files?
From the SaltyMelonYT/PCB-Projects repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Attempt design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which SaltyMelonYT chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Attempt 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.
