Genesis

A 65% keyboard pcb with support for the C3, C4, and S1 unified daughterboards.
It also uses the bakeneko65's outline, but don't expect it to be 100% compatible.
This project was made back in 2022 using an older KiCad version, so some issues may come up when using a modern version.

Firmware

Firmware is availiable in my fork of vial-qmk.

Questions

How big is the Genesis PCB?

It measures 303.8 × 94.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Genesis use?

181 parts, built around the RP2040, W25Q128JVSIQ and SRV05-4. 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 Genesis KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Genesis design in my own project?

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