About the AEPOQ PCB

AEPOQ is an open source RP2040/RP2350 PCB design by phantom-ascii, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 366.7 × 106 mm, with 139 components from 5 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the RaspberryPi_Pico, from the RP2040/RP2350 family. Other key parts include the ER_OLEDM0.91_1X-I2C. By type, the board carries 69 switches, 68 diodes, 1 IC and 1 module.

It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

A keyboard made entirely from scrach

AEPOQ was created by a 14 year old kid. I created AEPOQ to study on keyboard layouts and matricies. "Why" you may ask... Well i want to creat a laptop in the next 2 years and what better way to learn about hardware and laptops than making a keyboard (there are proably alot of better ways.) Unfortunately i could not add my full master step die to githubs large file limit and i didnt have time to set up lfs or smth like that cause im leaving for school in 2 hours. Anyways the keyboard is a 68 key 65% keyboard designed for productivity. It has a rotaty switch and an oled to make it special. AND…

AEPOQ: common questions

What microcontroller does the AEPOQ use?

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

How big is the AEPOQ PCB?

The AEPOQ measures 366.7 × 106 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.5 mm thick.

How many components are on the AEPOQ?

139 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 AEPOQ design files?

From the phantom-ascii/AEPOQ 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 AEPOQ design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with phantom-ascii. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the AEPOQ 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.
