About the Layout board

Layout board is an open source PCB design by isthispatrick, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 309.6 × 95.3 mm, with 78 components from 4 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the GH39FKSW and CD4067BPWR. By type, the board carries 72 ICs, 5 capacitors and 1 connector.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

I use the two prototypes shown above as my daily drivers for both coding and gaming. They work well, and the current state of the web configurator is sufficient for seamlessly switching between coding and gaming modes. The current layout of my prototypes is Mac ISO azerty (FR).

Layout board: common questions

How big is the Layout board?

The Layout board measures 309.6 × 95.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Layout board?

78 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 Layout board design files?

From the isthispatrick/wave 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 Layout board design in my own project?

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