From the project
Practice keypad PCB design in KiCAD
Steps for PCB design in KiCAD: - Circuit schematic design (Schematic Editor) - Add element - Define the value (if possible) - Define the footprint for later PCB design (IMPORTANT!) - Custom element design (Symbol Editor) - Define if input, output, etc. - For custom element, define the footprint (Footprint Editor) - Specify the size of the pads, etc. - For the actual PCB design (PCB Editor) - Define the board, connections, etc.

Custom-Keypad: common questions
How big is the Custom-Keypad PCB?
The Custom-Keypad measures 50 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Custom-Keypad?
25 components, from 4 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Custom-Keypad design files?
From the machinedeck/Custom-Keypad-KiCAD repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Custom-Keypad design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with machinedeck. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
