Questions

How big is the C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard PCB?

It measures 89.8 × 55.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard use?

49 parts, built around the 74HCT245, MT8816AP1 and SM4001. 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 C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard KiCad files?

From the baldengineer/C64-Pi-Pico-USB-Keyboard-Adapter repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the C64-Pi Pico USB Keyboard design in my own project?

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