Haptick - a 6DOF force sensitive input device

This design is a work in progress and is currently in the proof-of-concept prototyping phase. Progress is being documented via a series of blog posts.

Ultimately the goal is to produce an open source alternative to the various Spacemice on the market.

Questions

How big is the Proto PCB?

It measures 47.3 × 53.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Proto use?

55 parts, built around the AP131-30WG. 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 Proto KiCad files?

From the ioces/haptick repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/electronics/proto/proto.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/electronics/interface/interface.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Proto design in my own project?

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