Keyboard pcb design and firmware using RP Pico

Contains files for the keyboard pcb made in KiCad. "keyboard-pcbfirmwareversion.kicadpro" matches the firmware. "keyboard-pcb.kicadpro" is more efficient (need to reverse scanning in firmware).

Keyboard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboard use?

The Keyboard is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Keyboard PCB?

The Keyboard measures 303.5 × 97.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboard?

131 components, from 8 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Keyboard design files?

From the Allorx/PCB-Design repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Keyboard design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Allorx chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Keyboard 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.
