README
electroholics/split/README.mdImportant Stuff
- Planning on having m2 screws mounted through the switch mount plate then through the pcb and then inside the brass heat inserts mounted in the bottom case
- Clearance needed:
- 5mm : top of switch mount plate to top of pcb
- 3.3mm : top of pcb to bottom of mx pins
- 3mm : brass insert
- TOTAL : 11.3mm (ordering both)
- Clearance needed:

Questions
How big is the Prototype 1 PCB?
It measures 231 × 85.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Prototype 1 use?
85 parts. 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 Prototype 1 KiCad files?
From the aditya23043/split_keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is electroholics/prototype_1/prototype_1.kicad_pcb and its schematic electroholics/prototype_1/prototype_1.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Prototype 1 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
