About the Shift register spi breakout

Shift register spi breakout is an open source PCB design by christrotter, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 75 × 30 mm, with 15 components from 7 distinct parts.

By type, the board carries 5 resistors, 4 capacitors and 1 connector.

It belongs with the keyboards and dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.

From the project

Simple breakout board that gets you 16 rows and 16 cols for your QMK matrix.

A simple? breakout board that provides 32 matrix pins (16 row and 16 column) over SPI - using only 6 MCU pins! Designed for and tested in QMK - requires a custom matrix. Expects you to be using ROW2COL diode orientation.

This document includes: - Understanding shift registers (rather extensive) - Matrix-inator PCB notes - Matrix-inator schematic detail - Sample code
