Overview
Carrier is an open-source printed circuit board by phamfoo, from the phamfoo/form-zero repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 44.3 × 20.5 mm with 4 parts on 17 nets, routed with 36 tracks and 0 vias.
It is built around the RP2040-ZERO. Its parts include 1 IC and 1 connector. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

Gasket mounted ortholinear keyboard
Introduction
This project aims to provide an ergonomic keyboard that looks nice while also including the neat features that you'd find in custom mechanical keyboards:
- Gasket-mounted.
- Hotswap PCB.
- Clean and minimal design.
It's also designed to be put together by hobbyists, so all the parts can be easily sourced and only basic soldering skills are required.

Questions
How big is the Carrier PCB?
It measures 44.3 × 20.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Carrier use?
4 parts, built around the RP2040-ZERO. 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 Carrier KiCad files?
From the phamfoo/form-zero repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is src/pcbs/carrier/carrier.kicad_pcb and its schematic src/pcbs/carrier/carrier.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Carrier design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
