Questions
How big is the Pico basic PCB?
It measures 42 × 66 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pico basic use?
28 parts. 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 Pico basic KiCad files?
From the ajkeeton/fernley repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pico board - basic/pico basic/pico basic.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/pico board - basic/pico basic/pico basic.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pico basic design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ajkeeton before reusing the design.
