Questions

How big is the 2key PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 55.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2key use?

24 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU. 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 2key KiCad files?

From the maxchaston/keypad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is atmega32U4-AU/2key.kicad_pcb and its schematic atmega32U4-AU/2key.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2key design in my own project?

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