Phalanx

Phalanx /ˈfælæŋks/ 「手趾骨」是我為了要找到一個可以快速實驗各種鍵盤配置的方法而設計的四按鍵的PCB。

這設計參考了Saoto Tsuchiya的測試模組,加以簡化而成。

搭配熱插拔後,就可以快速的實驗各種鍵盤配置。

在幾天的時間內,我就找到我理想的鍵盤配置了,我稱它為「務實34」。

Questions

How big is the Phalanx PCB?

It measures 18.8 × 95.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Phalanx use?

8 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 Phalanx KiCad files?

From the jamessa/Phalanx repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Phalanx.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Phalanx.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Phalanx design in my own project?

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