No, hardware and firmware versions (such as v0.211) are two different things. The hardware revision is the digit after "SKpico" in the uf2-filename. PWM vs. DAC is only the way the audio signal is output, not what's emulated. You can still have dual SID with PWM, but it'll be downmixed to mono then. "All the ones with DAC and PWM in the name are for units that Units built with the add on DAC option and can output PWM directly to the C64 board and also enable the DAC output.." -> yes LED/RGB: correct |

I assume that which V0,211 version firmware I use is determined by the the marking on the SIDKick itself. SidKick 0.1 uses the Hardware Rev 0.1 and SidKick 0.2 uses the Hardware Rev 0.2. Is that correct?
Moving on... I am also assuming the following:
-The PWM.uf2 is just emulating the SID, no DAC and no Dual SID or flashing LED's.
-All the ones with DAC in the name are for units that Units built with the add on DAC option and do not enable the PWM output.
-All the ones with DAC and PWM in the name are for units that Units built with the add on DAC option and can output PWM directly to the C64 board and also enable the DAC output..
-The ones with LED will flash the power LED or perhaps the Blue on on the pico clones.
-The ones with RGB in the name will enable the WS2812 RGB LED assembly on the pico clones.
Is my guess at the magic decoder ring accurate? :) BTW, I love this thing, its beyond fantastic. Thanks for designing it!!!
