This is a hackpad that I made for the hackclub/stardance project, so I can more easily design my pcbs and other things on CAD softwares, it has an OLED screen, a 3x3 matrix , and a rotary encoder! image image image image The bom can be found here --- https://github.com/Shadowpig87/designpad/blob/main/designboardV1/production/bom.csv

Why did I make this board??

I really like desiginig pcbs and other models in different CAD models, and with this hackpad, after assigning all of the shortucts, I think I can really improve on my skills Also desiging this hackpad was a ton of fun!

The reason I didn't put a case for this pcb is cause I already have some plans on how to make one, not 3D printing

Features: 128x32 OLED display EC11 Rotary Encoder(for zooming in ofc) 9x Cherry MX Switches 9x 1N4148 DO-35 Diodes 9x DSA Keycaps

Questions

How big is the Hackkeyboard PCB?

It measures 88.4 × 75.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackkeyboard use?

21 parts, built around the 1N4148WT. 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 Hackkeyboard KiCad files?

From the Shadowpig87/designpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is designboardV1/PCB/hackkeyboard.kicad_pcb and its schematic designboardV1/PCB/hackkeyboard.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackkeyboard design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Shadowpig87 before reusing the design.
