About the CyberPad PCB

CyberPad is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by cyberneel, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 72.4 × 90 mm, with 20 components from 4 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 9 switches, 9 diodes, 1 IC and 1 connector.

It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A mini macropad made for HackClub's Hackpad event

Cyberneel Hackpad is a 3x3 key macropad with a rotary encoder, an OLED Display. Uses QMK firmware

It has 2 separate printed pieces. The base where the PCB sits, and the top cover.

I used MX_V2 for the keyswitch footprints.

- the rotary encoder changes volume. press to mute - The 9 keys currently act as function keys. - The OLED can show various information

I plan on getting more familiar with QMK and VIA to add more features

CyberPad: common questions

What microcontroller does the CyberPad use?

The CyberPad is built around the XIAO-RP2040-DIP, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the CyberPad PCB?

The CyberPad measures 72.4 × 90 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the CyberPad?

20 components, from 4 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 CyberPad design files?

From the cyberneel/CyberPad repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the CyberPad design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with cyberneel. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the CyberPad 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.
