Control board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Control board use?
The Control board is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Control board?
The Control board measures 56 × 85 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Control board?
210 components, from 42 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 Control board design files?
From the TrendBit/SMBR-hardware 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 Control board design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which TrendBit chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Control board 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.
