minsync

A minimal testbed for a RP2040-based board with an Si5351 as a clock source instead of the usual 12MHz crystal.

IO:

  • Four clusters of six GPIO pins and 5V + GND power pins to allow easy chaining of the board.
  • Headers for SWD flashing
  • A bootsel button
  • Testpoint for a gpout pin for debugging internal clocks

Questions

How big is the Multiprobe PCB?

It measures 50 × 63 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Multiprobe use?

26 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 Multiprobe KiCad files?

From the PietPtr/picotide repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbs/multiprobe/multiprobe.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcbs/minsync/RP2040_minimal_r2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Multiprobe design in my own project?

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