The Wasp

It's small, black and yellow and it might sting you.

This is an attempt to make a dirt cheap split keyboard. There is only one blackpill, keys on the other side are wired via an RJ45 connector.

Builtin tenting and spikes using 2 pcbs per side, connected in a 90 degree angle using double row pin header connectors.

Questions

How big is the Wasp PCB?

It measures 156.1 × 167.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Wasp use?

38 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 Wasp KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Wasp design in my own project?

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