Project Overview
Complete circuit creation using a stenograph-like keyboard. This includes component placement, routing, user-defined symbols, and export to KiCad (no mouse or code required for the user).
What I Hope to Learn
QMK firmware and ergonomic design is my current main focus. After I've settled on a good ergonomic design, I hope to learn more on challenges EDA tools like KiCAD are facing.

Questions
How big is the Stenoqwit PCB?
It measures 190.5 × 64.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Stenoqwit use?
48 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 Stenoqwit KiCad files?
From the Fraexex/Stenoqwit repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is stenoqwit.kicad_pcb and its schematic stenoqwit.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Stenoqwit design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Fraexex before reusing the design.
