4 open source boards using the Pi Pico
Real designs built with the Pi Pico, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the Pi Pico
What boards using the Pi Pico are built for
Pi Pico: common questions
Where can I find a Pi Pico reference design?
Each of the 4 boards on this page is a real design using the Pi Pico. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the Pi Pico use?
Most are built on RP2040/RP2350 (4).
How big is a typical board using the Pi Pico?
The median is 101 × 83 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the Pi Pico?
By GitHub stars, HydraMeter 0.4 by jduffy105, with 174 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the Pi Pico before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
