Overview

Devboard is an open-source printed circuit board by Thebucket-ops, from the Thebucket-ops/Fredboard repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 51 × 21 mm with 41 parts on 71 nets, routed with 534 tracks and 49 vias.

It is built around the RP2040 and MPU-6500. Its parts include 20 capacitors, 9 resistors, 4 ICs, 4 connectors and 2 switches. It belongs with the microcontroller boards boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

The fredboard is a custom pi pico devboard:

  • the v2 has a MPU-6500 and has a reboot button with a led to indicate the restart;
  • the v1 (untested) allows to use all but one pins provided by the rp2040, and has a led to indicate when the devboard is powered

Questions

How big is the Devboard PCB?

It measures 51 × 21 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Devboard use?

41 parts, built around the RP2040 and MPU-6500. 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 Devboard KiCad files?

From the Thebucket-ops/Fredboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v2/PCB/devboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/PCB/devboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Devboard design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
