README
README.mdBEST KEYBOARD PROJECT EVER!!!
hey! this is text explaining what my awesome project is :)
here's an AWESOME screenshoot of my keyboard in action!
HOW THIS WAS MADE
this custom keyboard was designed in KiCad for the PCB, modeled in Blender for the 3D-printed enclosure, and runs on CircuitPython :D
Heres how to setup and flash the project :)
Clone the repository to your device: git clone https://github.com/f9motion/custom-keyboard
Connect your microcontroller board in BOOTLOADER mode via USB
Copy the CircuitPython firmware files and keymap script to your device drive
firmware in my github repositorie https://github.com/f9motion/custom-keyboard
Disconnect, plug in, and type away! and be joyous!

Questions
How big is the Custom keyboard PCB?
It measures 434.2 × 148 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Custom keyboard use?
222 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 Custom keyboard KiCad files?
From the F9Motion/custom-keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad and Blend file/KiCad/custom keyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad and Blend file/KiCad/custom keyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Custom keyboard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask F9Motion before reusing the design.
