Hackbeil (/ˈhakˌbaɪ̯l/)

My custom 60 key wireless split keyboard. Inspired by Lily58. (Will be) Built with ergogen and zmk.

Setup

Install ergogen, e.g., with yarn:

text
yarn global add ergogen

Building

Using make:

text
make

The output will be placed in the build directory.

Next, use KiCad to add traces or try your luck with freerouting. That will likely require some modifications to the footprints though.

Questions

How big is the Hackbeil PCB?

It measures 138.5 × 116.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Hackbeil use?

71 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 Hackbeil KiCad files?

From the vrld/Hackbeil repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/hackbeil.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Hackbeil 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).
