Repository Layout

The repo is structured as follows:

  • PCB-related KiCad files in the PCB/
  • KiCAD case design in CAD/
  • Software related stuff is located in Software/
  • For a rough BOM, see BOM.csv
  • For my development log, see JOURNAL.md
  • HackClub Readme is located in README-original.md

[!CAUTION] The physical version of the console is not finished yet! The tutorial will be made after the completation.

Questions

How big is the RP0-HandHeld PCB?

It measures 69.5 × 68.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RP0-HandHeld use?

22 parts, built around the RASPBERRY PI ZERO 2 W. 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 RP0-HandHeld KiCad files?

From the OndrejVac/RP0-HandHeld repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/RP0-HandHeld.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/RP0-HandHeld.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RP0-HandHeld 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).
