Overview

Frogger is an open-source printed circuit board by weteor, from the weteor/Froggr repository on GitHub, published under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 228.6 × 80.5 mm with 106 parts on 66 nets, routed with 626 tracks and 131 vias.

Its parts include 51 diodes, 45 switches and 2 connectors. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards of this library.

    • 2u - 1u - 1u - 2u
    • all 1u

Want one?

All production files you need to build your own board can be found here.

Gerber files as well as files needed for 3d printing are provided. Please note that the case design that supports the acryl layin may not be SLN printable. Please print them either in resin or nylon. I've used JLCPCBs printing service (black resin) and it turned out very good, so maybe take a look at that option.

Parts needed beside the MCU board and pcbs:

  • a 20pin 0.5mm pitch FCC/FCP Connector

  • 48 mx hotswap sockets

  • 48 1N4148 diodes in SOT-123 package

  • 48 of your favourite switches

the rest

Everything in this repository is free to use however you might see fit. If you want to support me and my projects, please consider linking back to this repository if you build/change/use anything.

If you would like to send me a tip, you could do it here (Please don't feel like you have to).

Questions

How big is the Frogger PCB?

It measures 228.6 × 80.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Frogger use?

106 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 Frogger KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Frogger design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-P-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
