Overview

Starter ortho is an open-source printed circuit board by RSchneyer, from the RSchneyer/splitish repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 271.5 × 81 mm with 99 parts on 70 nets, routed with 583 tracks and 14 vias.

Its parts include 48 diodes and 1 IC. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

splitish

My first attempt at designing a mechanical keyboard. Split-ish 4x12 ortholinear layout designed for Kailh Choc switches. Rev 1 works, but is far from perfect, so order at your own risk. v1 assembled version 2 now exists, but I haven't had it fabricated though. Should still work. v2 front render v2 back render

Firmware can be found here [blocked]


Made with lots of help from Ai03's PCB design guide

Questions

How big is the Starter ortho PCB?

It measures 271.5 × 81 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Starter ortho use?

99 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 Starter ortho KiCad files?

From the RSchneyer/splitish repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is starter-ortho.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Starter ortho 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).
