Readers can expect comprehensive resources that focus on digital design and hardware development, with an emphasis on accessible tools like KiCad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are designing circuit boards or delving into embedded systems, Hinchliffe’s works provide detailed instruction and insight for both enthusiasts and professionals aiming to enhance their technical skills.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"design-an-rp2040-board-with-kicad-by-ben-everard-9781916868137","title":"Design an RP2040 board with KiCad","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign an RP2040 board with KiCad\u003c\/em\u003e by Ben Everard and Jo Hinchliffe guides you through designing and making your own microcontroller board using the same chip that powers the popular Raspberry Pi Pico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKiCad is an amazing piece of free and open-source software that allows anyone, with some time and effort, to make high-quality PCB designs. Couple this amazing software with numerous PCB fabrication companies and even PCBA services—companies that will make and assemble your PCB designs—and there's never been a better time to get into this aspect of making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a gentle introduction to PCB design using the RP2040 microcontroller chip, the same chip that's at the heart of the Raspberry Pi Pico. You'll learn how to create a schematic for a microcontroller board using the RP2040, from assigning schematic symbols to creating a footprint for individual components. You'll quickly move on to laying out the PCB design and preparing it for manufacture!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's right—after your board is designed, this book will show you how to send it off to be manufactured and assembled. You'll find out about the various materials (or substrates) you can choose for your board, and learn how to pick the right manufacturer. Once you have your board in hand, you'll also learn what you can do (and make!) with it, and there will be plenty of ideas for expansions, such as motor drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47486019404012,"sku":"9781916868137","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e0c8e2a6b88b647edd0f2e1ba4d533e4.jpg?v=1775783817"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jo-hinchliffe.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
