Questions

How big is the Picocart64 v2 PCB?

It measures 105 × 60 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Picocart64 v2 use?

162 parts, built around the RP2040, 74LVC1G125GW, ESP32-C3-WROOM-02-H4 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 Picocart64 v2 KiCad files?

From the khill25/Dreamdrive repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is N64/hw/picocart64_v2/picocart64_v2.kicad_pcb and its schematic Dreamcast/hw/Dreamdrivecast-esp32/Dreamdrivecast-esp32.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Picocart64 v2 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask khill25 before reusing the design.
