About the Gingham-USBC PCB

Gingham-USBC is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by yiancar, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 285.8 × 123.8 mm, with 162 components from 30 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ATMEGA328-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family. Other key parts include the MCP23008-E_P. By type, the board carries 71 switches, 66 diodes, 10 resistors, 5 capacitors, 3 connectors and 2 ICs.

It belongs with the keyboards designs in this gallery.

From the project

A 60% throughole keyboard with USBC. Inspired by the Plaid

This ANSI/ISO keyboard kit is made using ONLY through hole components and inspired by the Plaid.

To alter the pcb use KiCAD V5.0 or newer as it already contains most of the libraries. The additional libraries are provided.

Gingham-USBC: common questions

What microcontroller does the Gingham-USBC use?

The Gingham-USBC is built around the ATMEGA328-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Gingham-USBC PCB?

The Gingham-USBC measures 285.8 × 123.8 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Gingham-USBC?

162 components, from 30 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Gingham-USBC design files?

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

Can I use the Gingham-USBC design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, which yiancar chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Gingham-USBC without the hardware?

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