One key: common questions
What microcontroller does the One key use?
The One key is built around the MCP73832T-2ACI/OT, from the Silicon Labs family.
How big is the One key PCB?
The One key measures 14.5 × 14.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the One key?
10 components, from 9 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 One key design files?
From the ahtn/keyboard_pcb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the One key design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with ahtn. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the One key without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug Silicon Labs firmware against it before you order a PCB.
