About the LiteROV PCB

LiteROV is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Urpekari, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 152.4 × 76.2 mm, with 20 components from 13 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RPI-PICO, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the LM317_TO-220. By type, the board carries 6 resistors, 5 switches, 4 connectors, 2 ICs, 2 capacitors and 1 battery holder.

LiteROV: common questions

What microcontroller does the LiteROV use?

The LiteROV is built around the RPI-PICO, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the LiteROV PCB?

The LiteROV measures 152.4 × 76.2 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LiteROV?

20 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the LiteROV design files?

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

Can I use the LiteROV design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the LiteROV 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.
