CROWN KEYBOARD

A simple 6 by 5 split keyboard with 3 thumb keys and a display.
It is planned to be made through Ergogen, KiCad and ZMK.
This not complete yet or fully tested so please do not use yet.

Features

As meationed before it is 6x5 with thumb keys all multiplied by 2 so 66 keys.
It uses a Nice!Nano v2 so it has wireless and wired capability.
Along with the Nice!Nano it has Nice!View for the display.
The keyboard will include a reset button and a battery slider too.
It will not be reverisble but can eaily bcome by removing mirrored sections and addin reversible tags to areas

Which Ergogen

I have been using https://ergogen.ceoloide.com the unoffical web version.
Because it includes ability to add custom footprints there is no need for downloading it.
For this reason all the inputs and outputs in the Ergogen folder aren't sorted like they would be on the local version.
I would recommened this to people who are going for simpler designs.
My footprints that I use are taken from Christian Selig.

Unusual Elements

Unlike most people I used outlines and combos for the mounting points intead of footprints in pcbs.
I did this so i could visually see them in ergogen to stop the amount of times i had to switch between Ergogen and KiCad.
It also has stilts for the pcb to sit on so i have room for the battery and maybe have foam or something to provide a bit more support.

THIS IS NOT FINISHED DO NOT USE YET PLEASE

Questions

How big is the Right PCB?

It measures 144 × 152 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Right use?

71 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 Right KiCad files?

From the hris-2/Crown_Keyboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Ergogen/Outputs/right.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Right design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask hris-2 before reusing the design.
