A simple PCB for the Raspberry Pi Pico with screw terminal headers (GPIOs, +3.3V, GND) to experiment with students.
As part of an educational project, the schematic and PCB are made with KiCad version 9 (kicad folder).
💡 All important parameters are stored in the schematic/PCB editors text variables (common project variables).
Thanks to AISLER PCB manufacturer 🇪🇺
