This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge
What I Built
I built a Devboard with a pokemon theme. I called it the Pikachu because of the pokemon theme. The specs are:
- MCU: Raspberry Pi RP2040
- USB: USB Type-C (USB 2.0 receptacle)
- Flash: W25Q128JVS external SPI flash
- Regulator: MCP1700 3.3V LDO
- Clock: 4-pin crystal with external load capacitors
- User input: Push button

The Comeback Story
I started this project when I was following some guides made by Hack Club. I was passionate about it, but school pulled me away before I could finish.
After I started working on more software and was more advanced in hardware design, I remembered this project and went back to it. I originally had no theme to go with it, but I added all the pokemon to it to show my love for Pokemon!
My Experience with GitHub Copilot
I love using Github Copilot for learning, debugging, and fixing my code. I used Copilot to create a README for my repo. I also asked Github Copilot to change some route thicknesses and the board size because I already removed the Kicad Project from my computer. When I put the changed files into Kicanvas, It was perfect and what I expected!
