Questions
How big is the Pico controller PCB?
It measures 24.5 × 53.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pico controller use?
6 parts. 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 Pico controller KiCad files?
From the makerforgetech/pico-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/PicoController/PicoController.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/PicoController/PicoController.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pico controller design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
