La Jaderissima mkb: common questions

What microcontroller does the La Jaderissima mkb use?

The La Jaderissima mkb is built around the Raspberry_Pi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the La Jaderissima mkb PCB?

The La Jaderissima mkb measures 372 × 147.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the La Jaderissima mkb?

201 components, from 10 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the La Jaderissima mkb design files?

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

Can I use the La Jaderissima mkb design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which ubolakes chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the La Jaderissima mkb 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.
