Overview
RP2040 Devboard is an open-source printed circuit board by Clustel, from the Clustel/Mocon2040 repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 21 × 51 mm with 36 parts on 54 nets, routed with 552 tracks and 108 vias.
It is built around the RP2040 and AP2112K-3.3. Its parts include 17 capacitors, 7 resistors, 4 connectors, 3 ICs and 1 switch. It belongs with the microcontroller boards boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
Main components

README.mdMocon
A dev board with an upgraded LDO compared to other traditional devboards, which will allow for using devices that need higher current draw.
I made this to allow for easier prototyping as it gives extra breathing space when prototyping with many components connected at once to a dev board.

Ordering
Upload the zipped Prod folder to JLCPCB and go through their steps for a PCBA.
BOM if u want to solder it on your own (might be more expensive than PCBA)

Questions
How big is the RP2040 Devboard PCB?
It measures 21 × 51 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the RP2040 Devboard use?
36 parts, built around the RP2040 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 RP2040 Devboard KiCad files?
From the Clustel/Mocon2040 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is RP2040 Devboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic RP2040 Devboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the RP2040 Devboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Clustel before reusing the design.
