What is Readboard
Redboard is a YSWS where students design a custom RP2040-powered PCB from scratch, earn credits based on tracked hours, and redeem them for grants to manufacture and build their board.
How does it works
For each project there will be two phases:
- The design phase, where participants design any RP2040-powered board, develop the PCB and track their time spent on KiCad with Lapse. After shipping the project, they will receive 1 credit per hour tracked.
- The build phase, where participants spend their credits in the shop to get: a PCB manufacturing grant; a components grant; optional tools (soldering iron, multimeter, etc.). Then they physically build the board, tracking the build time with Lapse and earning additional credits.
What a shipped project will have
A shipped Phase 1 project includes:
- Public GitHub repo with all the source files
- Handwritten README and JOURNEY files
- Photos of the board design
A shipped Phase 2 project includes:
- A short video of the board working
- Photos of the assembled board

Questions
How big is the HackClubNano PCB?
It measures 25.4 × 43 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the HackClubNano use?
33 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 HackClubNano KiCad files?
From the gianluca-rainis/RedBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/HackClubNano/HackClubNano.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/HackClubNano/HackClubNano.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the HackClubNano design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask gianluca-rainis before reusing the design.
