Teensy 4.0/4.1 Breakout PCB

This is a breakout board for the Teensy 4.0 or Teensy 4.1 microcontroller, intended for use with custom dance pads for games like ITG and Pump It Up.

This PCB is designed in KiCAD. If the dependencies for the board are not detected automatically, add the common_lib folder next to this folder to your KiCAD's search paths for both libraries and footprints.

Features

  • Many FSR outputs with 10kΩ resistors
    • 18 outputs with Teensy 4.1
    • 10 outputs with Teensy 4.0
  • Status LEDs for FSR activation status
  • 3-pin JST-XH connector for WS2811/WS2812 panel LED boards or strips
  • Internal buttons for controlling LED brightness and activating pad automatic calibration
  • Connection points for external navigation buttons
  • Buzzer for audio feedback
  • DC barrel jack connector for external LED power
    • Jumper for using USB power to power LEDs instead
  • Headers for all soldered Teensy pins, to allow for use cases beyond just this board

Questions

How big is the Step led panel PCB?

It measures 228.6 × 76.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Step led panel use?

46 parts, built around the WS2812. 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 Step led panel KiCad files?

From the widget-/widgetpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/panel_led/step_led_panel.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Step led panel design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-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).
