Muon kbd: common questions
What microcontroller does the Muon kbd use?
The Muon kbd is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Muon kbd PCB?
The Muon kbd measures 72 × 59 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Muon kbd?
54 components, from 23 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 Muon kbd design files?
From the Dekanova/muon-kbd 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 Muon kbd design in my own project?
Yes, under the terms of its CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license, which Dekanova chose for the repository.
Can I test firmware for the Muon kbd 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.
