The Pico+ is my take on the Raspberry Pi Pico 2. It includes the RP2350, A larger SPI Flash chip, a SRAM chip, a EEPROM, and more!

Timeline

Redid and moved around a bit of the power supply, and then optimized the BOM and things for PCBA. I then realized the project would be overbudget, so I decided to get a hotplate and reflow the parts myself, which is much cheaper. I then created the master BOM for LCSC and JLCPCB.
I decided to get the hotplate off amazon as the price is only $1 more than AliExpress.

I laid out most of the board, then decided to delete it and start over again.
I just finished the hopefully final layout! Next is sourcing parts and then it's done!

I've started laying out the board. Again, kicad-wakatime is not accurate :(

Update attachment

I've finished the schematic!
I've spent way more than 1h (like 6h+) on this, but kicad-wakatime is weird and doesn't reliably track time :(
