Overview
Pico gc is an open-source printed circuit board by SimpleControllers, from the SimpleControllers/pico-gc repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 125.5 × 71.3 mm with 53 parts on 44 nets, routed with 378 tracks and 100 vias.
It is built around the USB4105-GF-A. Its parts include 12 switches, 8 capacitors, 8 resistors, 5 connectors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.

This project is based on the PhobGCC https://github.com/PhobGCC/PhobGCC-HW.
Its drive was mainly just to see if it was possible to use the Pico dev board instead of an IC solution. I have a full writeup here https://simplecontrollers.com/blogs/projects/pico-gc.
I don't recommend printing this board other than for educational purposes.

Questions
How big is the Pico gc PCB?
It measures 125.5 × 71.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pico gc use?
53 parts, built around the USB4105-GF-A. 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 gc KiCad files?
From the SimpleControllers/pico-gc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is picogc.kicad_pcb and its schematic picogc.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pico gc design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SimpleControllers before reusing the design.
