RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board - USB Passthrough Edition

The RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board - USB Passthrough Edition is an all-in-one embedded design based on the original RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board.

This board combines the RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board and USB Passthrough Board into one board.

The RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board - USB Passthrough Edition is an embedded design based on the original Pico Fighting Board (https://github.com/FeralAI/PicoFightingBoard) by FeralAI.

The RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board - USB Passthrough Edition is an embedded SMD design with through hole components. It is not recommended to assemble these yourself unless you have a setup to do SMD assembly.

With the RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board - USB Passthrough Edition using an embedded RP2040 chip, we are able to access all of the additional GPIO pins that are not easily accessible on the standard Raspberry Pi Pico board. This allows us to have many more options on the board so that people can make truly unique and custom contollers including USB passthrough for PS4 / PS5 authentication via a dongle or controller.

Please note that USB passthrough comes at the cost of the Option 1 (GPIO 23) and Option 2 (GPIO 24) pins. To ensure this can be an all-in-one solution I have added a SMD switch to the board. When in the left position, labeled USB the Option 1 (GPIO 23) and Option 2 (GPIO 24) pins will be disabled and the onboard USB passthrough port will be active on GPIO 23 (Data +) and GPIO 24 (Data -). When in the right position, labeled OPTION the USB passthrough port will be disabled and GPIO 23 and GPIO 24 will function again as Option 1 and Option 2. You cannot have both at the same time!

Please note that you will need to enable and disable the USB passthrough via the web-config if you change the switch on the board.
