About the Controller pro micro PCB

Controller pro micro is an open source PCB design by JeremyJStarcher, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 180.3 × 27.9 mm, with 14 components from 13 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the ProMicro, 7402 and 74LS08. By type, the board carries 5 connectors, 3 ICs, 2 switches, 2 capacitors, 1 diode and 1 resistor.

It belongs with the keyboards and retro computing designs in this gallery.

From the project

Retro Keyboards for emulators

The purpose of this project is to set up a tools to make it easier to create a custom keyboard to use retro-style computers on modern emulators.

This includes the PCB, keycaps and (in time) a case.

Python 3.10 OpenSCAD KiCad VcCode (other editors will work but may require configuration)

All of the Python scripts run in a virtual environment which will allow them to access privately installed libraries.
