About the RP2040 Debugger PCB
RP2040 Debugger is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Twisted-Fields, published on GitHub under the Custom license license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 57 × 47.5 mm, with 60 components from 32 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the W25Q16JVSSIQ, LD1086DT33TR and TLV1117LV33DCYR. By type, the board carries 21 capacitors, 16 resistors, 9 connectors, 5 diodes, 4 ICs and 2 switches.
It belongs with the robotics & motion and usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.
From the project
A dual channel brushless motor controller based on the RP2040 microcontroller, designed in Kicad.
The boards cost between $15 and $40 each depending on version and quantity.
Our dream is that you will fab your own boards, make changes, and share your work - giving this design life beyond our efforts.
Designed by Taylor Alexander for Twisted Fields, for the Acorn Precision Farming Rover.
Many thanks to Daniel Theobald. Without your financial support and encouragement this project would not have been possible.

RP2040 Debugger: common questions
What microcontroller does the RP2040 Debugger use?
The RP2040 Debugger is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the RP2040 Debugger PCB?
The RP2040 Debugger measures 57 × 47.5 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the RP2040 Debugger?
60 components, from 32 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 RP2040 Debugger design files?
From the Twisted-Fields/rp2040-motor-controller 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 RP2040 Debugger design in my own project?
It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the RP2040 Debugger 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.
