As there are no more castellated pins on the left side of the board, maybe you could change the double pin io ports to single ones to gain a bit more room on the board? Might give space for a full sized prop plug header or a led or dip switch?
Going to single pins would break compatibility with Pi Pico accessories. If the design works out I plan to squish it back down.
Do you really want a prop plug connector or would on board USB to serial work? I was able to fit an FT231 on board. I'll see how it works when I build it. I really like a board with a single USB connector for power and data.
The board has one LED, connected to P30. It will have a reset button like the teensy series.
Do you care about the color? I will probably order these in purple. But I could also get red cheaply. Green is of course an option, but this would have to be imported for the price I'm willing to pay.
Are you going to do anything critical with the ADCs? There are no LDOs here like the edge has. I don't consider this a big deal as the Pico doesn't have any LDOs either.
Saucy, if you don't have the means to bring out all of the pins, then overlay groups of 8 together (ie P0&P8, P1&P9, P2&P10, ...). This will allow you to add really nice monitoring capabilites, like logic analyzer and SCOPE ADC w/triggering. I wish I had made the silicon more like this, because it would have been nice to standardize diagnostics.

Good!!!

Yeah!

I think, Pico has LC filter for the Ref voltage? Perhaps that would be good for one group of pins too?
