Keypad

The Keypad is a 4 key macropad.

It is designed to help users easily edit their text documents, by providing features such as space and ctrl + left/right which will help them move past a whole word instead of just one character.

Features:

  • Case
  • 2 WS2812B RGB LEDs
  • 3 Keys

CAD Model:

Everything fits together using 4 M3 Bolts and heatset inserts.

It has 2 separate printed pieces. The base where the PCB sits, and the top cover.

Questions

How big is the MyKeyboard PCB?

It measures 61.9 × 45.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MyKeyboard use?

7 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 MyKeyboard KiCad files?

From the acise03/keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/myKeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/OPL_Kicad_Library-master/OPL_Kicad_Library-master/Grove Vision AI V2 Library/Grove - Vision AI Module V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MyKeyboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask acise03 before reusing the design.
