README
README.mdSplitty
This is a split ergonomic keyboard based on the Ergodox layout without the thumb cluster. It uses 32 keys per sides with Cherry MX compatibles switches, thirty 1u and two vertical 1.5u caps.
The controller is integrated in order to make the keyboard as slim as possible.
It connects to the computer using a micro-B USB. Both sides are connected together also using micro-B USB. Any connection mistake should not break anything and the keyboard supports hot plugging.

Questions
How big is the Splitty PCB?
It measures 133.4 × 100.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Splitty use?
97 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU and USBLC6-2P6. 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 Splitty KiCad files?
From the schodet/splitty repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is splitty.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Splitty 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).
