My take on the RP2040 Dev Board (See guide)
Why?
I wanted to progress my ESP32 Dev Board, but I had little experience with PCBs. So, I decided to start with the RP2040, which seemed easier, following the guide.

Questions
How big is the Rp2040-dev board PCB?
It measures 21 × 51 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Rp2040-dev board use?
32 parts, built around the RP2040. 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 Rp2040-dev board KiCad files?
From the BenjaminDerProgrammierer/rp2040-dev-board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/rp2040-dev-board.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/rp2040-dev-board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Rp2040-dev board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BenjaminDerProgrammierer before reusing the design.
