New-Keeb: common questions

What microcontroller does the New-Keeb use?

The New-Keeb is built around the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the New-Keeb PCB?

The New-Keeb measures 340.1 × 130 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the New-Keeb?

298 components, from 9 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 New-Keeb design files?

From the Osaidii/New-Keeb repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the New-Keeb design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which Osaidii chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the New-Keeb 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.
