Overview

Vision is an open-source printed circuit board by kusamakura, from the kusamakura/Vision-Alt repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 299.2 × 124 mm with 145 parts on 98 nets, routed with 826 tracks and 30 vias.

It is built around the TPD4E05U06DQAR, 1N4148W and BAT41ZFILM, with the DTC123JE and SMF9.0CA among its other parts. Its parts include 51 diodes, 13 capacitors, 6 resistors, 3 ICs and 1 transistor. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

Vision Alt PCB

A PCB for the Vision keyboard by SatT Keyboards with alternative layout options.

Notable changes

  • R2 2U Backspace
  • Left bottom row: from 2U-1U to 1U-2U, add 3U
  • Right bottom row: remove 1U-1.75U, add 2.75U
  • Nudge P position 0.125 mm to the left

How to use

Use the gerbers, BOM, and CPL files in the JLCPCB production files folder. Set the PCB thickness to 1.2 mm when ordering; otherwise your PCB will not work with the case.

Prototypes pending to check if this works.

The source files were originally in KiCAD 5, converted to KiCAD 6, then modified. JLC production output was generated with the JLC Fabrication Toolkit plugin.

Disclaimer

Maintainers and contributors are not liable if you end up with a non-functional PCB. Order at your own risk. Support will not be provided but pull requests will be reviewed and possibly accepted.

Todo

  • Finalize layout changes
  • Order prototypes
  • Confirm prototypes
  • Order plates
  • Write firmware

Questions

How big is the Vision PCB?

It measures 299.2 × 124 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Vision use?

145 parts, built around the TPD4E05U06DQAR, 1N4148W, BAT41ZFILM and DTC123JE. 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 Vision KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Vision 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).
