Overview
SingleBoard is an open-source printed circuit board by liub1606, from the liub1606/OneBoard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 151 × 103 mm with 41 parts on 34 nets, routed with 176 tracks and 0 vias.
Its parts include 20 diodes, 19 switches and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.
README
README.mdOneBoard
OneBoard is a 20(ish) percent keyboard with a rotary encoder. It uses QMK firmware running on a RP2040.
Features:
- 3D printed outer case
- EC11 Rotary encoder for volume and general media control.
- 19 Keys
CAD Model:
We use 4 M3 Bolts and heatset inserts to put everything together. In total it has 2 separate peices.

PCB
My PCB made in Kicad. I used KLE to design the keyboard layout and used a plugin to get everything laid out.

Firmware Overview
This keyboard uses QMK firmware for everything.
- The rotary encoder changes volume, press the encoder to pause media.
- Basically acts like the left side of a full sized keyboard.

Questions
How big is the SingleBoard PCB?
It measures 151 × 103 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the SingleBoard use?
41 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 SingleBoard KiCad files?
From the liub1606/OneBoard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is SingleBoard PCB/SingleBoard.kicad_pcb and its schematic SingleBoard PCB/SingleBoard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the SingleBoard design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask liub1606 before reusing the design.
