Picov: common questions

What microcontroller does the Picov use?

The Picov is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Picov PCB?

The Picov measures 21.3 × 51.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Picov?

50 components, from 19 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 Picov design files?

From the vibsthebot/picov 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 Picov design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with vibsthebot. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Picov 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.
