Vik playground
About the Vik playground PCB
Vik playground is an open source PCB design by sadekbaroudi, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 99 × 65.5 mm, with 40 components from 17 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the SN74HC595, MCP23017-E/SO and TS3A27518EPW. By type, the board carries 10 diodes, 8 connectors, 7 switches, 5 jumpers, 4 resistors and 3 ICs.
From the project
This is a VIK module designed to allow you to experiment and prototype.
This is a VIK module designed to allow you to experiment and prototype.
It includes: MCP23017 I/O expander 74hc595 shift register WS2812B 5050 leds MX/Choc V1/Gateron low profile switch footprint, both hotswap and solderable Row/Column and Direct Pin switch configuration (default is Row/Column) EC11 footprint
All pins are broken out. If you have female headers connected, you can experiment with your wiring, write firmware, and prototype / test features.
