Keebs: common questions
What microcontroller does the Keebs use?
The Keebs is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Keebs PCB?
The Keebs measures 128.6 × 120.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Keebs?
100 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Keebs design files?
From the Bankst/keebs repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Keebs design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Bankst. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Keebs 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.
