Raft21: common questions
What microcontroller does the Raft21 use?
The Raft21 is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Raft21 PCB?
The Raft21 measures 194.8 × 99.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Raft21?
22 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Raft21 design files?
From the skksn1230/raft21 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Raft21 design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which skksn1230 chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Raft21 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.
