Known problems
Rev 1
Because the Raspberry Pi Pico is positioned far from the edge of the board, not all micro-USB cables will fit.
When inserting the cable, hold it gently to prevent the SD card from popping out of the slot.

Questions
How big is the Pi hat PCB?
It measures 75 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pi hat use?
61 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 Pi hat KiCad files?
From the vklachkov/blackgpib repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pi-hat/untitled.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pi-hat/untitled.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pi hat 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).
