RP2040 Cyberpunk Development Badge

NeonCore is a cyberpunk-inspired electronic badge built around the RP2040 microcontroller. The project combines embedded hardware with custom PCB artwork, resulting in a compact development badge that is both functional and visually distinctive.

Designed entirely in KiCad, the board includes USB Type-C connectivity, Li-Po battery support with onboard charging, RGB lighting, OLED display support, external QSPI flash memory, and onboard power management. The goal was to create a portable embedded platform that could later be extended with custom firmware and interactive applications.

Questions

How big is the CB-01 PCB?

It measures 78 × 50.9 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the CB-01 use?

68 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q32JVSSIQ, ME6211C33M5G-N and SK6812MINI-E. 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 CB-01 KiCad files?

From the ayaxan7/CB-01 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is CB-01.kicad_pcb and its schematic CB-01.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the CB-01 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ayaxan7 before reusing the design.
