About the Board

Board is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by derEchteJan, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 114.3 × 95.3 mm, with 61 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Pro_Micro, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 30 switches, 30 diodes and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

keyboards

plate holes (mx): 14.0 x 14.0 mm distance: 19.05 mm (horizontal and vertical)

horizontal: 5 x 19.05 + 14 = 109.25 vertical: 4 x 19.05 + 14 = 90.20

= 114.3 x 95.25 mm cr: 2.4 mm -> rounded down for case measurements = 115 x 96 mm

Board: common questions

What microcontroller does the Board use?

The Board is built around the Arduino_Pro_Micro, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Board?

The Board measures 114.3 × 95.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Board?

61 components, from 3 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Board design files?

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

Can I use the Board design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the Board without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
