Payload PCB at WVU for Mars Society's University Rover Challenge (URC)

Competition Team KiCad RP2040 License

urc-payload-pcb

SUMMARY

The Payload PCB serves as an all-purpose control and interface board that contains the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040) designed to manage mission-critical sensors and electronics and communicate that information through its Micro USB connector to the LattePanda Sigma SBC.
