RP2350-ProMini Project

The RP2350-ProMini project aims to create a replacement for the Arduino Pro Mini using the RP2350 MCU.

RP2350-ProMini Board

The RP2350-ProMini board is a 4-layer board designed to accommodate the popular Raspberry Pi RP2350 MCU in the commonly used, but obsolete, Arduino Pro Mini footprint.

This project is a shoot-off from my earlier RP2040-ProMini project, which was designed to accommodate the Raspberry Pi RP2040 MCU in the same footprint.

You can view the Schematics in PDF format for detailed information.

STEP 3D files are available with pins and without pins.

Features:

  • Arduino Pro Mini compatible pinout
  • Partially compatible with Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect pinout
  • Detachable USB and JTAG extension board with RESET button
  • Dual-core Cortex-M33 Raspberry Pi RP2350
  • Small footprint suitable for DIY projects
  • 21 GPIO pins, including 4 analog inputs
  • USB data pins on the side connector
  • SWD debugging pins on the side connector
  • Buck-Boost converter based 3.3V power supply with input range of 2.5V-12V
  • Supports both SOIC and WSON 16MB flash packages
  • Flat back side enables use as a sub-assembly
  • Two cut points to reduce power consumption of unused components

CAM files, as well as the BOM and CPL files for JLCPCB, are available.

Board Pinout

Following pinout is used for the board:

Cut Points

There are two cut points on the board to reduce power consumption of unused components.

Cut Point Function Notes
CUT_VIN Separates VIN-to-3V3 power supply with power LED from the rest of the board This cut point is useful if you want to power the board from 3V3 pin instead of VIN pin.
CUT_LED Separates LED on pin D13 from the rest of the board This cut point is useful if you want to reduce power consumption of the board.
