Overview

Kawa is an open-source printed circuit board by CoffeeBreakKeyboards, from the CoffeeBreakKeyboards/kawa repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 234.7 × 91.5 mm with 95 parts on 63 nets, routed with 853 tracks and 110 vias.

It is built around the SRV05-4, DTC123JE and RB060M-60TR, with the SMF9.0CA among its other parts. Its parts include 36 diodes, 34 switches, 11 capacitors, 7 resistors and 3 ICs. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

Questions

How big is the Kawa PCB?

It measures 234.7 × 91.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Kawa use?

95 parts, built around the SRV05-4, DTC123JE, RB060M-60TR and SMF9.0CA. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Kawa KiCad files?

From the CoffeeBreakKeyboards/kawa repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Kawa design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask CoffeeBreakKeyboards before reusing the design.
