About the Remote PCB
Remote is an open source PCB design by TheRetroWeb, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50 × 50 mm, with 16 components from 14 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AMS1117-3.3 and MCP23009-SO. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 4 switches, 3 resistors, 2 ICs, 1 buzzer and 1 capacitor.
It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
RPi Pico based POST (Power-On Self Test) Diagnostic Card
PicoPOST is a PC diagnostic card for systems with, at least, an 8-bit ISA slot. It's based around the Raspberry Pi Pico, powered by an RP2040.
PicoPOST is designed to provide many additional benefits over the basic POST cards that are commonly available from Chinese vendors on eBay and other sites.
This project is getting ready for public usage, with a few prototypes already in use for development purposes. More information soon as it gets finalized.
