Treeboard


A PCB that you can use to play minigames with 4 LEDs, 4 Cherry MX switches and a XIAO RP2040.

Game Modes

Reaction Tester

  • Start: Hold the top left button for 3 seconds (the LEDs will slowly light up as you hold it)
  • How to Play: An LED will turn on within 5 seconds, and you have to press the corresponding button as fast as possible.

Duel

  • Start: Hold the top right button for 3 seconds (the LEDs will slowly light up as you hold it)
  • Players
    • Player 1 uses the left buttons and LEDs
    • Player 2 uses the right buttons and LEDs
  • How to Play
    • Hold the PCB horizontally
    • A mirrored LED pair will light up (eg the top left and top right)
    • The first person who presses that switch wins and whoever gets to 5 wins first has their LEDs flash as celebration

Memory Game

  • Start: Hold the bottom left button for 3 seconds (the LEDs will slowly light up as you hold it)
  • How to Play
    • The LEDs flash a sequence that you have to exactly recreate with the buttons
    • Each time you succeed, the length of the sequence increases
    • If you fail, the LEDs turn on and off 2 times, and if you win, they turn on one by one.

Binary

  • Start: Hold the bottom right button for 3 seconds (the LEDs will slowly light up as you hold it)
  • How to Play
    • The LEDs will show a binary number for 5 seconds
    • When they turn off, you have to input that value using the keyboard
      • Pressing the top left button adds 1
      • Pressing the top right button adds 5
      • Pressing the bottom left button subtracts 1
    • To submit your number, hold the bottom right button for 2 seconds
    • If you got it correct, the LEDs will all flash twice
    • If you got it wrong, they will flash one by one 2 times

Other features

Idle

After 30 seconds with no input, the LEDs will play a slow idle animation

Questions

How big is the Fidget PCB?

It measures 90.3 × 39.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fidget use?

16 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 Fidget KiCad files?

From the obobed/treeboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/fidget.kicad_pcb and its schematic kicad/fidget.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fidget design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
