About the Veekos PCB

Veekos is an open source Nordic nRF PCB design by LegendPlayz83, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 83.7 × 141.4 mm, with 43 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the XIAO-nRF52840-DIP, from the Nordic nRF family. By type, the board carries 21 switches, 21 diodes and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards, iot & wireless and power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

Veekos is a 21-key wireless Bluetooth Macropad that uses the XIAO nRF52840 Sense as its microcontroller chip. Each key has its own diode assigned; the diodes are 1N4148.

Veekos: common questions

What microcontroller does the Veekos use?

The Veekos is built around the XIAO-nRF52840-DIP, from the Nordic nRF family.

How big is the Veekos PCB?

The Veekos measures 83.7 × 141.4 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Veekos?

43 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 Veekos design files?

From the LegendPlayz83/Veekos 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 Veekos design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which LegendPlayz83 chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Veekos without the hardware?

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