Questions

How big is the Proto pico PCB?

It measures 62.1 × 67.3 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proto pico use?

112 parts, built around the RP2040, 74LVC1G17Z, DRV8835DSS and AP2112K-3.3. 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 Proto pico KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Proto pico design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask amundgr before reusing the design.
