Description

Picobug 🪲

An RP2040-based devboard with an integrated picoprobe debugger

Features 🔧

  • USB-C
  • Integrated debug probe with UART,* which you can snap off if not needed and use as a separate devboard
  • Integrated microSD card reader
  • Colour silkscreen to show pin numbers:
  • Pin-compatible with the original Pico
  • 16MB flash (instead of the default 2MB)**

* Use GPIO16 and 17 for UART instead of the default GPIO0 and 1

** Only the main Pico has 16MB flash, the debugger has 2MB.

Nice! Do you know if this PCB counts as 2 designs by JLCPCB (and they charge more)?

No, it was a single design as it is joined without any v-cuts or anything like that, just small holes for easy snapping

reply @arcaegecengiz:Ok, good to know, thanks!
I'm asking because in documentation JLCPCB claim that they can still treat such designs as separate: "as long as it can be separated, no matter by v-cut, millings, or drill holes, it will be regarded as different designs, even if some traces are connected in between". Good to know this wasn't the case with your project.

The Picobug is a remarkable example of innovation in embedded development. By integrating an RP2040 microcontroller with a built-in Picoprobe debugger, it streamlines the development process, eliminating the need for external debugging tools. The inclusion of a microSD card reader adds versatility, allowing for data storage and retrieval directly from the device. Its USB-C interface ensures modern connectivity, while the color-coded silkscreen aids in easy identification of pin numbers, enhancing usability. The design's compatibility with the original Raspberry Pi Pico makes it an excellent choice for developers seeking an efficient and compact solution. This project exemplifies the power of open-source hardware in fostering innovation and accessibility. Kudos to the creator for delivering such a well-thought-out and practical tool for the community.
