Skippy: common questions

What microcontroller does the Skippy use?

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

How many components are on the Skippy?

238 components, from 15 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 Skippy design files?

From the shanealexshibu1-crypto/Skippy repository on GitHub, which has the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Skippy design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with shanealexshibu1-crypto. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Skippy 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.
