I’m interested in trying to make some of my own custom PCBs for the Duo with KiCad, but the files provided for the Duo are for OrCAD which is not free software and is something I’m not familiar with. Is it possible for KiCad symbols and footprints for the Duo to be provided alongside the OrCAD files? Thanks.

Good idea. I think we can just modify based on the Pico form factor. Let’s add this to the todo.

Thanks! Pogo pins for the breakout pads for USB and such would also be a good idea in my opinion.

Have you gotten around to this yet?

Since the part is not that compicated, might be easier to redraw the part in Kicad.
However conversion might be simple with small help from milkv.io
Since Orcad Library format is closed binary format, the parts have to be saved in XML-format first.
Then you might could use that project:
fjullien/orlib2ki: Orcad to KiCAD library (github.com)
Might be useful for the bunch of upcoming new chips from milkv.io

Hello,
Has any progress been made getting footprints for the Duo?
Is there a mechanical drawing available of the module?
Regards

Hi everyone
Apologies if this has been resolved. I’m interested in creating a PCB both for Duo, and a future project which will need one to sit on top of the Duo S. Were mechanical drawings published?
Thanks
Geoff

** I HAVE NOT THOROUGHLY CHECKED THIS **
Here you go, mate. Haven’t been able to verify this, but seems to be OK, judging by the two resistors on the EVB (right next to what I assume were the SCL/SDA pair). The numbering scheme is nuts, to say the least. And that little marking next to the uFL connector is really not helping things.
It’s designed rather packed (pins are trimmed to a more PCBA friendly format), but feel free to modify it to your needs. And, if you can, do check it before using it in a finished product. I dont have orcad installed, I did the footprint by looking at the DXF files.
The files you need are on github.
