About the Dvaboard PCB

Dvaboard is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Sp1me, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 333.2 × 127.2 mm, with 186 components from 13 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 122 diodes, 62 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector.

It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

My first custom keyboard. It's kind of scuffed.

Dvaboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Dvaboard use?

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

How big is the Dvaboard PCB?

The Dvaboard measures 333.2 × 127.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Dvaboard?

186 components, from 13 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 Dvaboard design files?

From the Sp1me/dvaboard 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 Dvaboard design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Sp1me chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Dvaboard 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.
