Questions

How big is the AmethystKeyboard PCB?

It measures 235.2 × 95.1 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the AmethystKeyboard use?

99 parts, built around the ATMEGA328P-PU and 74HC595. 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 AmethystKeyboard KiCad files?

From the QuickPurpleFox/Amethyst32 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Amethyst32Keyboard/AmethystKeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic Amethyst32Keyboard/AmethystKeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the AmethystKeyboard 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).
