Pcb design
About the Pcb design
Pcb design is an open source PCB design by rebekalv, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 360 × 125 mm, with 211 components from 6 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AVR_CNANO. By type, the board carries 69 LEDs, 69 diodes, 3 switches and 1 IC.
It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
TFE4205 - Studentdefinert utviklingsprosjekt: Designe tastatur
Ever wanted to craft your own custom mechanical keyboard? Here's how I brought mine to life, step-by-step! 🛠️✨
- Microcontroller Magic 🧠: Powered by the AVR64DU32 on a Curiosity Nano (cnano), this keyboard communicates seamlessly via USB-C using the Human Interface Device (HID) class. No soldering, no hassle—just plug and play!
- Custom PCB in KiCad 💻: I designed a PCB to eliminate complex wiring, ensuring a sleek, professional layout. KiCad made it easy to customize my PCB, but managing library includes can be somewhat cumbersome.

Pcb design: common questions
How big is the Pcb design?
The Pcb design measures 360 × 125 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Pcb design?
211 components, from 6 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 Pcb design design files?
From the rebekalv/keyboard 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 Pcb design design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with rebekalv. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
