Assembly
A lot of items are typically purchased in small packs or kits, leaving you with quite a few extras, though this makes making additional devices quite economical.
| Component | Quantity | Example Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PCB | 1 | Gerber zip | See Getting a PCB below. |
| Waveshare RP2040-Zero | 1 | Waveshare | Without headers. Clone boards do work, but it's better to support Waveshare and get the genuine product. |
| Female VGA Connector | 1 | Aliexpress | |
| Button | 1 | Aliexpress | 6x6x6mm |
| Resistors | 9 | Aliexpress | 100Ω, 390Ω, 2x 470Ω, 3x 1kΩ, 2x 2.2kΩ |
The device can optionally be mounted in an enclosure, with the required materials listed below:
| Component | Quantity | Example Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enclosure | 1 | Aliexpress | 56x58x28mm. PCB mounting holes were designed specifically to fit this box |
| M2.5 screws | 4 | Aliexpress | M2.5 screws self-tap threads into the soft plastic of the above box |
| Standoffs/Spacers | 4 | Aliexpress | I used M3 nylon standoffs to lift the PCB up inside the enclosure, but you could use anything similar |
You can get a PCB printed easily using any PCB manufacturer who can accept Gerber files. The latest Gerber zip file for this device can be found here. Simply upload the zip file when prompted on the site, and no other settings should need to be changed (you can pick your solder mask colour though). Most sites will make you order a minimum of 5 boards, but they're cheap enough to not be an issue, and it's handy to have a few extras.
I personally prefer PCBWay, but any site should be fine. If you wish, you can use my PCBWay referral code (completely optional) for $5 of credit, and I will in return get credit as well.
