About the Gemini panel PCB

Gemini panel is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by 0xCB-dev, published on GitHub under the Custom license license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 112 × 70.6 mm, with 50 components from 25 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the SC0914(13), from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the USBLC6-2P6, TLV75533PDQNR, W25Q128JVPIQ and SN74LVC1T45DRLR. By type, the board carries 20 capacitors, 16 resistors, 5 ICs, 2 transistors, 2 diodes and 1 crystal.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

Helios features - waveshare zero compatible

Purchasing Gemini from any vendors listed here directly supports our work. Gemini controllers sourced from vendors not listed here and not produced by us will not receive the same level of support and may have varying degrees of quality.

- qmk clone - cd qmkfirmware - To go to bootloader press the reset button longer than 500ms and release. Alternatively you can short the RST pin to GND, as it's wired to the reset button. - make 0xcb/gemini:default:flash`

Gemini panel: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gemini panel use?

The Gemini panel is built around the SC0914(13), from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Gemini panel PCB?

The Gemini panel measures 112 × 70.6 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gemini panel?

50 components, from 25 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gemini panel design files?

From the 0xCB-dev/0xCB-Gemini repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Gemini panel design in my own project?

It is published under Custom license, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.

Can I test firmware for the Gemini panel without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
