🔴 USB HID Button Board

breakout board for the Raspberry Pi Pico that allows connecting arcade buttons and outputing as a USB HID keyboard device. The firmware is built using Earle F. Philhower, III's Raspberry Pi Pico Arduino core and the standard Arduino IDE environment.

ToDo:

  • add mouse jiggler support
  • add "macro" support
  • add "custom key mappings" without re-flashing firmware
  • add debounce support

Questions

How big is the Button Board PCB?

It measures 37.2 × 52.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Button Board use?

10 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 Button Board KiCad files?

From the ideafablabs/ButtonBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/Button_Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Button Board 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).
