Keyface external: common questions
What microcontroller does the Keyface external use?
The Keyface external is built around the PIC16F84, from the PIC family.
How big is the Keyface external PCB?
The Keyface external measures 82.6 × 85.5 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Keyface external?
42 components, from 19 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Keyface external design files?
From the z00m128/pcb-resources repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Keyface external design in my own project?
It is published under CC-BY-NC-4.0, which limits how it may be reused; read the license before building on it.
Can I test firmware for the Keyface external without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug PIC firmware against it before you order a PCB.
