Overview
Keyboard is an open-source printed circuit board by JosephDemarest, from the JosephDemarest/Ambition_Keyboard_PCB repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 362.6 × 140.2 mm with 280 parts on 235 nets, routed with 2,260 tracks and 265 vias.
It is built around the AT90USB1286-AU and MBR130LSFT1G-FS. Its parts include 7 capacitors, 6 resistors, 6 switches, 2 connectors and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

This repository contains all of the PCB related files for the Ambition Keyboard. The project is currently in development and is not yet complete.
Project Status
The keyboard case is currently being designed in CAD. The PCBs have been ordered and are expected to arrive soon. The firmware will be based on QMK.
Repository Contents
This repository contains the following:
- Schematic files
- PCB layout files
- Renderings of the PCB
- Other related files
Setup / Build / Installation
Firmware
The firmware for the Ambition Keyboard will be based on QMK. The QMK firmware is a powerful open-source firmware for keyboards that allows for customization and control over every aspect of your keyboard.
To setup the firmware, follow these steps:
- Clone the QMK firmware repository:
git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git - Navigate to the keymaps directory for the Ambition Keyboard (this will be added once the keyboard is supported by QMK).
- Modify the keymap to your liking.
- Build the firmware with
qmk compile.
Flashing the Firmware
After building the firmware, you will need to flash it onto your keyboard. Here are the general steps to do this:
- Connect your keyboard to your computer.
- Put your keyboard into bootloader mode. This is usually done by pressing the reset button on the PCB, but the method can vary depending on the keyboard.
- Use QMK Toolbox or a similar tool to flash the firmware onto your keyboard. In QMK Toolbox, you would select the .hex or .bin file you compiled earlier, select the correct microcontroller, and then click the "Flash" button.
Please refer to the QMK documentation for more detailed instructions and troubleshooting tips.
Hardware
Once the PCBs arrive and have been tested, you will need to solder the components onto the PCB. This includes switches, LEDs, and any other components used in the design.
Case
Once the case design is complete, it will need to be manufactured. The method of manufacturing will depend on the design and materials used. I am planning on 3-d Printing.
Contributing
As this project is still in development, contributions are welcome. Please feel free to submit issues and pull requests.

Questions
How big is the Keyboard PCB?
It measures 362.6 × 140.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Keyboard use?
280 parts, built around the AT90USB1286-AU and MBR130LSFT1G-FS. 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 Keyboard KiCad files?
From the JosephDemarest/Ambition_Keyboard_PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask JosephDemarest before reusing the design.
