About the ClassicControllerPico PCB

ClassicControllerPico is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by tt3333, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 30.5 × 63.5 mm, with 8 components from 7 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Raspberry Pi Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 4 connectors, 2 resistors, 1 IC and 1 diode.

From the project

Classic Controller Pico is a program that allows Raspberry Pi Pico to be recognized as Wii classic controller.

This project is based off of the Wii RetroPad Adapter project by Bruno Freitas. The license for this project follows the license for the Wii RetroPad adapter.

ClassicControllerPico: common questions

What microcontroller does the ClassicControllerPico use?

The ClassicControllerPico is built around the Raspberry Pi Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the ClassicControllerPico PCB?

The ClassicControllerPico measures 30.5 × 63.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the ClassicControllerPico?

8 components, from 7 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the ClassicControllerPico design files?

From the tt3333/ClassicControllerPico repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the ClassicControllerPico design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which tt3333 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the ClassicControllerPico 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.
