NextPCB Launches Free PCBA Accelerator for RP2040 Projects
NextPCB announces a new round of its Accelerator program focused on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller, offering two fully assembled PCB prototypes (PCBA) free of charge to approved RP2040-based designs. The sponsorship covers PCB fabrication, components, SMT assembly, and worldwide shipping up to USD $500. Participants also receive engineering assistance from prototype to bring-up.

Jumpstart Innovation with RP2040 and Free PCBA Prototypes - NextPCB Accelerator #1
Why NextPCB
● Production-grade RP2040 assembly: Proven handling of the compact 7×7 mm, 0.4 mm-pitch QFN with precision pick-and-place and advanced automated inspection for reliable results.
● Batch programming / firmware burning: Streamlines builds and saves time and labor.
● Functional testing available: Free functional testing for up to 10 units, ideal for Accelerator prototypes.
● Comprehensive, 1:1 support: Manufacturing engineering, design guidance, certification and production assistance.
What Participants Get
● 2 FREE RP2040 PCBA units per approved project (PCB + parts + assembly + shipping, capped at USD $500).
● Preferential RP2040 chip pricing when manufacturing with NextPCB’s turnkey PCBA service.
● DFM/BOM checks and bring-up support from experienced engineers.
Who Can Apply
Priority is given to business-oriented, original designs. Hobbyist projects are welcome if they are your own design; publicly posted or third-party designs do not qualify. Each participant may receive one Accelerator sponsorship per month.
How to Join
1. Register your project by emailing support@nextpcb.com; an NDA can be arranged if needed.
2. After registration, submit a PCBA inquiry via the NextPCB PCBA quotation system and follow the guidance to claim your two free RP2040 PCBA units.
3. NextPCB will perform DFM/BOM checks, assemble, optionally function-test, and ship the units.
“With this Accelerator round, we’re removing early manufacturing friction so teams can focus on product value,” said the NextPCB Accelerator team.
