About the Keyboardcontroller PCB

Keyboardcontroller is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by Marc-Blanco, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 235 × 140 mm, with 21 components from 3 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. By type, the board carries 20 switches and 1 module.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

Keyboardcontroller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Keyboardcontroller use?

The Keyboardcontroller is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Keyboardcontroller PCB?

The Keyboardcontroller measures 235 × 140 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Keyboardcontroller?

21 components, from 3 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 Keyboardcontroller design files?

From the Marc-Blanco/Keyboardcontroller 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 Keyboardcontroller design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which Marc-Blanco chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Keyboardcontroller 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.
