Raspberry Pi Pico (compatibles)

[mastraa]

Dear all,

I found these Rasp PICO ‘compatible’ board. They’ve original RP2040, but different pinout. I need low power consuption so I adopt the one on the right.

Unfortunately they have (both left and right) a bit different pinout from the original one.

No matter, I was only search for Fritzing part, Is there any part of these two?
I’m not so used in editor, in the case I would try to modify it

Best regards,
Andrea

There likely is no Frtizing part for these. To make one we would need the web site that describes the board you want.

Dear vanepp,

Thank you. The board is just the same with different pinout.
I managed it someway. I will upload as I finish.

Image is not exactly the same, but pinout will be.

Hi! Can you please share the file? I am looking for it as well. Thanks in advance.

And Andrea, did you finish it? if so, please share!
You are certainly not the only one using this clone RP2040 board…

Did some homework and this seems a nice first version of a (purple) raspberry pi 2040 clone that can be bought on e.g. AliExpress. Please let me know if you can use it.

Your part is broken enough to be unusable. A number of connectors in breadboard are undefined (thus routing to the middle of the part) there are only 3 connectors on the bottom (circled in red here) but 4 in the other two views.

schematic is in a similar state

as is pcb

Runnng the part through FritzingCheckPart.py flags the following errors (although not as many as I would have expected from the output)

Warning 14: File

Connector connector43pin is in the fzp file but not the svg file. (typo?)

This tutorial may assist you in fixing the problems (and includes a source of FritzingCheckPart.py)

Part creation howto part 1 breadboard and pcb

Someone in this forum post requested help to fix up a part. So while doing that I decided to record what I needed to do in order to fix the part to provide a tutorial to create new / fix broken parts. If you start from the Tarjeta S4A EDU.fzpz file posted in the above thread, you should be able to recreate my improved part posted in the same thread. I started by loading the original part in to Fritzing, that indicates breadboard is (at first look anyway) pretty good, but schematic and pcb are…

To add on

@ArnoldSchw The way Peter did to minimise GND connectors in SCH is to overlap the pins above each other (documented in his Inkscape Extension Tutorial). Beware, there has been a routing bug in Fritzing regarding overlapped connectors.
