We're thrilled to announce NextPCB Accelerator, a groundbreaking initiative that empowers innovators and creators to bring their ideas to life. Whether you're a business entrepreneur or a passionate hobbyist, we'll support your journey from concept to mass production.
Our first NextPCB Accelerator campaign features the RP2040 microcontroller chip from Raspberry Pi.
This revolutionary piece of silicon is Raspberry Pi's debut MCU that took the embedded community by storm. RP2040's impressive capabilities, extensive support and much lower price point made migrating to the newcomer in the 32-bit ARM race an obvious choice, with the lower cost being an important consideration for new products.
RP2040 features dual ARM Cortex-M0+ cores running at up to 133MHz, with 264KB RAM and flexible I/O options in a small QFN package, providing a powerful and versatile option for many embedded applications.
Now with NextPCB's new Accelerator campaign, you can get 2 assembled PCB units of your RP2040-based design completely free.. In addition, NextPCB is offering preferential pricing for RP2040 chips when RP2040-based designs are manufactured with NextPCB's turnkey PCB assembly service.
Why HQ NextPCB?
Take advantage of a host of benefits and value-added services when you manufacture your RP2040-based design with HQ NextPCB:
- Professional assembly: The small 7 x 7mm 0.4mm pitch QFN package can be a challenge to solder, but NextPCB's precision pick-and-place machines, advanced automated inspection equipment and carefully controlled manufacturing practices achieve flawless results with maximum reliability and minimum hassle.
- Batch Programming: Product designers can take advantage of HQ NextPCB's IC programming and firmware burning services, allowing you to free up valuable board space and reduce labor costs.
- Functional Testing Services: Have your boards tested for functionality before leaving the production line with NextPCB's functional testing capabilities. NextPCB now offers free functional testing for 10 units or less, perfect for the free PCBA campaign.
If you are considering RP2040 for your new design, or have an RP2040-based project ready for production, turn to NextPCB for professional PCB fabrication and turnkey assembly and join our campaign to save further.

Who Can Participate?
While we primarily focus on business-oriented projects, we also welcome hobbyist projects that contribute to the open-source community and showcase RP2040's capabilities, though they must be your own original design. Publicly available designs do not qualify for sponsorship.
How to Get Started
1. Contact our customer support team (support@nextpcb.com) for project registration and to specify your project purpose. We can proceed with an NDA to legally protect your IP if needed.
2. After successful registration, submit your PCBA inquiry through our PCBA quotation system, and follow the guidance to claim your 2 PCBA units for free.
At NextPCB, we're committed to helping you scale your projects with confidence. Join the NextPCB Accelerator program today and bring your innovations to life! If you have any other ideas or suggestions, we invite you to contact us.
