KID's Keyboard Related Code

  • flanck: contains the PCB, plates and firmware of my first self-designed keyboard.
  • ortho-keymap: a script that I use to manage and convert my (Colemak-DHm based) keymap across multiple different ortholinear flavored keyboards (Flanck, Planck, Corne and Reviung41).
  • crkbd-kid: my custom firmware for the Corne split keyboard, mostly containing the code for custom OLED display.

Questions

How big is the Flanck PCB?

It measures 266.7 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Flanck use?

107 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 Flanck KiCad files?

From the pluskid/keyboards repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is flanck/pcb/flanck.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Flanck 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).
