Embedded Computing Design documents a few things that you shouldn’t do when creating a custom RP2040 dev board. Tips in a nutshell:
- Keep Things Simple
- Minimize and Standardize Small Components
- Buy More Small Components Than You Need
- Don’t Forget the Solder Stencil
- Don’t Leave Solder Bridges
- Don’t Test With Critical USB
- Do Ask for Help
- Don’t Not Get Started

Realistically, it took me many hours of work to produce this successful board, so one should consider whether it’s worth your time to pursue a custom design. On the other hand, I now have the experience and confidence to do this again, and a standard design and set of components that can hopefully be reused going forward.
