Overview

Adelheid is an open-source printed circuit board by dcpedit, from the dcpedit/adelheid-plus repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 339.1 × 143.2 mm with 332 parts on 228 nets, routed with 3,226 tracks and 99 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU, USBLC6-2SC6 and PF4. Its parts include 83 diodes, 13 connectors, 9 capacitors, 5 resistors and 2 ICs. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Repository folders:

  • pcb: KiCad files
  • pcb-mu: KiCad files for Atmega32u4-MU chip (same pinout as Atmega32u4-AU, but smaller footprint)
  • case: High profile case files
  • wrist-rest: Wrist rest files

I modifed the pcb a bit to accept an Atmega32u4-MU since those seem to be in stock more often.

Changes in this fork

  • USB-C connector
  • Option for 2U backspace
  • Extra B key
  • Option for rotary encoder at F13 position
  • Option for 2.25U left space + 1.25U modifier combo (requires modification to plate)

Layout

Firmware

See my Vial fork for the firmware files on the dcpedit branch. I opted for Vial since it allows you to program the rotary encoder through their GUI: https://get.vial.today/

Questions

How big is the Adelheid PCB?

It measures 339.1 × 143.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Adelheid use?

332 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU, USBLC6-2SC6 and PF4. 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 Adelheid KiCad files?

From the dcpedit/adelheid-plus repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb-mu/adelheid.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Adelheid 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).
