QMK support is in the "steve" branch of my QMK repo

I use my own custom keymap on these, which is also in my QMK branch.

Versions:

  • Version 4: Based on version 3 with bug fixes and ergonomic tweaks. Keeps the reverse-mount LEDs and acrylic, removes the 4-pin JST connector, adds rotary encoder. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
  • Version 3: Ergonomic tweaks, peripheral support via 4-pin and 8-pin JST SH (1 mm) connectors, switch to reverse-mount LEDs and acrylic middle layer. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
  • Version 2: Eronomic tweaks, Cirque trackpad, GC9A01 display, rotary encoder, and side-mount LEDs on the bottom of the PCB. MCU is soldered in rather than socketed in order to minimize the profile. Requires 0xcb Helios MCU.
  • Version 1: Inspired by the MT3 Lord of the Rings keycaps.

Questions

How big is the Fidrildi4 PCB?

It measures 295.3 × 133.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fidrildi4 use?

124 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-EA. 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 Fidrildi4 KiCad files?

From the jstevej/fidrildi repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v4/pcb/fidrildi4.kicad_pcb and its schematic v1/pcb-top-plate/fidrildi.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fidrildi4 design in my own project?

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