About the Notchdeck PCB

Notchdeck is an open source PCB design by theatrus, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board, with 88 components from 30 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the E73-2G4M08S1C, AP2112K-3.3TRG1, MCP73831T-2ACI/OT, MAX17048G+T10 and AS5600-ASOM. By type, the board carries 21 resistors, 18 diodes, 17 capacitors, 16 switches, 8 connectors and 7 ICs.

It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.

From the project

NotchDeck — open-hardware dual-mode (USB + BLE) train master controller (mascon) on nRF52840

KiCad 10 project for NotchDeck One. Structure and tooling are patterned on the other BenchBits hardware projects (tsumikoro / pulsarfab): a Makefile driving kicad-cli for doc generation and JLCPCB packaging, a shared project-local lib/, and one subdirectory per PCB.

Schematic populated, not yet wired. The hierarchical schematic (root + MCU / Power / Lever / Controls sheets) is generated from a data manifest, scripts/notchdeck-one.schgen.py — every part from PARTS.md is placed and resolves to a real symbol + footprint, with a per-sheet wiring / pin-assignment note drawn from NETPLAN.md.…

Notchdeck: common questions

How big is the Notchdeck PCB?

The Notchdeck has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Notchdeck?

88 components, from 30 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 Notchdeck design files?

From the theatrus/notchdeck 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 Notchdeck design in my own project?

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