About the F.60 PCB

F.60 is an open source NXP PCB design by robertcalvert, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 285.8 × 95.3 mm, with 129 components from 65 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the TEENSY2.0, from the NXP family. By type, the board carries 62 relays, 62 diodes and 1 IC.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

An open hardware 60% mechanical keyboard

The f.60 is an open hardware 60% mechanical keyboard.

The board has a standard 62 key ISO layout designed for Cherry MX switches. To avoid ghosting each switch has an associated diode. The 1N4148 is a common choice; however any signal diode should work.

The board is designed for a Teensy 2.0 micro controller.

The KiCad project lives in the robertcalvert/f.60 repository on GitHub; these links point at the commit this page was built from.

F.60: common questions

What microcontroller does the F.60 use?

The F.60 is built around the TEENSY2.0, from the NXP family.

How big is the F.60 PCB?

The F.60 measures 285.8 × 95.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the F.60?

129 components, from 65 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the F.60 design files?

From the robertcalvert/f.60 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the F.60 design in my own project?

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

Can I test firmware for the F.60 without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug NXP firmware against it before you order a PCB.
