Keyboardv1: common questions
What microcontroller does the Keyboardv1 use?
The Keyboardv1 is built around the Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.
How big is the Keyboardv1 PCB?
The Keyboardv1 measures 320 × 180 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Keyboardv1?
164 components, from 84 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Keyboardv1 design files?
From the nimitvijayvargee/keyboardv1 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Keyboardv1 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with nimitvijayvargee. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Keyboardv1 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.
