A custom dev board designed by me to allow me to create intricate projects
A minimal, high-performance prototyping board based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040.
Core Specs MCU: Dual ARM Cortex-M0+ (133 MHz, 264 KB SRAM).
Storage: 2 MB QSPI Flash.
I/O: 20-pin breakout (GPIO, ADC, UART, SPI, I2C).
Clock: 12 MHz Crystal.
Power: USB-C (5V) to 3.3V LDO.
How to Use:
Honestly idk, however you want, its a cheaper version of an esp-32, meant for small projects, its meant to be disposable in the sense of messing it up before a 100 dollar chip.
Why I made this:
I made this because i wanted to test my skills, and allow me to easily create more intricate projects with ease. It is also a good starter project to learn the intricacies of PCB design.

Questions
How big is the Custom Dev Board PCB?
It measures 21 × 51 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Custom Dev Board use?
35 parts, built around the RP2040 and W25Q128JVSIQ. 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 Custom Dev Board KiCad files?
From the CosmicengineerC/Custom-Dev-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Custom Dev Board.kicad_pcb and its schematic Custom Dev Board.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Custom Dev Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CosmicengineerC before reusing the design.
