README
README.mdKeebPort
Keeb Port is a split keyboard architecture with a central part housing a micro controller and 6 keys (two keys can be replaced with encoders optionally). Right and left part of the split keyboard do not include a micro controller but an IO expander (MCP23017) processing the key activation information and connected via i2c to the central part. The LED control signal is generated by the micro controller and provided via a separate line to both split keyboard parts. Central and split keyboard parts are connected with TRRRS (5-pin). All layouts share the same firmware.

Questions
How big is the Expanded SplitKbs PCB?
It measures 66.9 × 72.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Expanded SplitKbs use?
25 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 Expanded SplitKbs KiCad files?
From the oceanKeebs/KeebPort repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/Projects/KeebPort_RP2040/Pcb/Expanded_SplitKbs.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCAD/Projects/BaseSplitTemplate/Pcb/Ortho_BaseLayout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Expanded SplitKbs design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
