ZEUS: common questions

What microcontroller does the ZEUS use?

The ZEUS is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico_W, from the Raspberry Pi family.

How big is the ZEUS PCB?

The ZEUS measures 171 × 142 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ZEUS?

69 components, from 3 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 ZEUS design files?

From the sudo-apt-install-tap/ZEUS 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 ZEUS design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the ZEUS without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Raspberry Pi firmware against it before you order a PCB.
