README
README.mdGorillaz PCB Boards
This project offers an integrated PCB replacement for the Kinesys Advantage2. The view of this project is to offer a full PCB replacement including the thumb clusters. The PCB components are almost fully SMD. The Draw back will be the cost of the solution on order, but the benefit will be solderless solution.
How is it different from other mods
Aside from being a fun project the main goal of this is to offer a simplified approach to Kinesys moddiing.
- solder free installation (as much as possible)
- battery management with the ability to wake the board up from sleep by pressing a key (not possible with the nice!nano)
- Bluetooth
If there are feature you would like to see supported on the board, do get in touch. note that I am not planning on supporting the pedals at this stage.
The Hardware
The Software
the firmware will be ZMK.
Attribution
This project would not be possible without the huge work done by https://github.com/dcpedit/pillzmod
The pcb design wouldn't have been possible withouth the guide from Moritz ebastler - https://github.com/ebastler/zmk-designguide
Contribustions
I am no pcb designer so I am very much looking for contributions and feedback to get the project to the finish line.

Questions
How big is the Gorilaz PCB?
It measures 100 × 86 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Gorilaz use?
51 parts, built around the BQ24075RGT, DW01A, FS8205 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 Gorilaz KiCad files?
From the nol00p/Gorillaz repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB Design/Gorilaz.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB Design/Gorilaz.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Gorilaz design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask nol00p before reusing the design.
