Questions
How big is the Pi pico microphone PCB?
It measures 66 × 52 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pi pico microphone use?
31 parts, built around the AP63205WU, NAU8315YG and ICS-43434. 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 Pi pico microphone KiCad files?
From the computer-whisperer/acoustic_array repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pi_pico_microphone.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/libs/picow_vga_sd_aud.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pi pico microphone design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask computer-whisperer before reusing the design.
