Questions

What parts does the Protopico use?

81 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q64JVSSIQ, TPS564255DRL and SKC6812RGBW-NW-B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Protopico KiCad files?

From the MyloWhylo/ProtogenPCBs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ProtoPico/protopico.kicad_pcb and its schematic BackpackPCB/ProtogenBackpackPCB.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Protopico design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
