LLMDeck

LLMDeck is an 8 key macropad with a rotary encoder for temperature control, an OLED display, and 3 RGB LEDs for status, all in a 3D-printed 2 part case.

It runs on a XIAO RP2040 with KMK firmware to prompt multiple LLMs, utilizing them for various everyday tasks.

Features

  • XIAO RP2040 running on KMK firmware
  • 3 keys to switch between 3 different LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama)
  • 3 keys to either summarize, lengthen, or humanize clipboard text
  • 2 keys to open corresponding LLM chatbot in browser
  • EC11 rotary encoder to adjust prompt temperature (0.0 - 1.0)
  • 128×32 0.91" OLED Display (displays current LLM/function)
  • 3 RGB LEDs displaying whether LLMDeck is powered on
  • 3D-printed case designed in Onshape
  • Silkscreen of many LLMS and Hack Club!

Firmware

All firmware was developed in VSCode (w/ KMK). FIRMWARE IS UNTESTED AND WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK. API keys are not included yet (I will add them when I assemble LLMDeck).

  • API calls to OpenAI, Google, Meta to utilize LLM functions
  • WIFI connection needed
  • Data stored in tmp directory
  • UNTESTED

Questions

How big is the LLMDeck PCB?

It measures 98.1 × 62.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the LLMDeck use?

27 parts, built around the SK6812MINI-E. 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 LLMDeck KiCad files?

From the vkunamneni1/LLMDeck repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/LLMDeck.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/LLMDeck.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the LLMDeck design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask vkunamneni1 before reusing the design.
