Firmware

For firmware I have used QMK and it was not very easy as we can not write firmware of any hardware unless we have it physically anyways, i'm done with this! image

Questions

How big is the Prv pad PCB?

It measures 61.4 × 81.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Prv pad use?

20 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 Prv pad KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Prv pad 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).
