Person keyboard: common questions
What microcontroller does the Person keyboard use?
The Person keyboard is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Person keyboard PCB?
The Person keyboard measures 446.9 × 141.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Person keyboard?
356 components, from 130 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Person keyboard design files?
From the jtljac/person-keyboard repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Person keyboard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jtljac. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Person keyboard 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.
