Software

Running on QMK firmware. Use QMK Toolbox to flash with provided HEX file. Then use VIA configurator to configure keybinds. For further customization (encoder keycodes), setup a QMK build environment and compile your own HEX files.

Flashing

  • Download and open QMK Toolbox
  • Select HEX file
  • Choose ATMega32u4 as microcontroller
  • Push reset button on board and then press flash button in toolbox.

Keybinds

  • Download and install VIA Configurator
  • Open VIA and go to File->Import Keymap
  • Select the keymap.json file
  • Plug in the keyboard

Questions

How big is the 65 keyboard pcb PCB?

It measures 304.8 × 123.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 65 keyboard pcb use?

175 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 65 keyboard pcb KiCad files?

From the BasementCircuits/wave65 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/65_keyboard_pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 65 keyboard pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
