Overview

Nue pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by hyhenry, from the hyhenry/nue-pcb repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 293.9 × 103.4 mm with 160 parts on 101 nets, routed with 735 tracks and 26 vias.

It is built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU. Its parts include 67 switches, 64 diodes, 7 capacitors, 4 resistors and 2 connectors. It belongs with the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Nue PCB rev1.1

Nue PCB

This is the open source PCB for the Nue keyboard. It's minimally designed (as intentioned) with ISO support and basic 60% layout options. The Nue PCB has gasket mounting tabs and as such will not work on any other keyboard. Fuse / ESD protection was not implemented initially as this was taken care of by the unifed C3 daughterboard, however future revisions will have it onboard as backup. These files are provided as-is and are intended for tinkerers, do not expect warranty or support to be provided.

Features

  • Designed with KiCad 6.0+
  • Compatible with QMK/VIA
  • Only works with Nue PCB
  • Utilizes Unified C3 daughterboard or compatible equivalents
  • ISP header

Ordering

The files necessary to produce the PCBs via JLCPCB are located in the production folder.

Questions

How big is the Nue pcb PCB?

It measures 293.9 × 103.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Nue pcb use?

160 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-MU. 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 Nue pcb KiCad files?

From the hyhenry/nue-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/nue-pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/nue-pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Nue pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
