rp2040 dev board

2025, everything, rp2040, pcb, pcba

the problem

i wanted to play with the rp2040's ADC pins and PIO functionality, and off-the-shelf boards felt limiting. so i designed my own dev-board with 16mb of storage.

the approach

my first actually complicated schematic and layout, and my first pcba order from jlcpcb.

the outcome

working dev-boards, fresh from assembly, with my name on the silkscreen. as a nice side effect, the macropad runs on this pcb. very proud of that one.

three assembled rp2040 dev boards on pink bubble wrap

five assembled boards, ready for experiments with the RP2040.
