About the Starfall PCB

Starfall is an open source PCB design by jeremyrapalo6-collab, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 84.9 × 96.9 mm, with 21 components from 5 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO and ER_OLEDM0.91_1x-I2C. By type, the board carries 10 switches, 9 diodes and 2 ICs.

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

From the project

Starfall is my first hardware project. I wanted to make a macropad because it seemed cool, and I chose to use my favorite colors, black and purple, along with my group name, LTC. This was a cool but long project, and I learned a lot while making it.

Starfall is a 9-key macropad with a rotary encoder and a small OLED display. I designed it around a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040 and made a custom PCB and case for it.

Starfall: common questions

How big is the Starfall PCB?

The Starfall measures 84.9 × 96.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Starfall?

21 components, from 5 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 Starfall design files?

From the jeremyrapalo6-collab/Starfall 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 Starfall design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jeremyrapalo6-collab. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
