Overview

Sigmapad pcb is an open-source printed circuit board by Willyum6, from the Willyum6/sigmaboard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 99.4 × 63.6 mm with 16 parts on 28 nets, routed with 243 tracks and 22 vias.

It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 8 diodes, 6 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector. It belongs with the RP2040 boards of this library.

Contains:

  • 3 separate printed parts

  • 4 M3 bolts and 4 inserts

  • 6 keys total

  • 128x32 OLED screen

  • 2 WS2812B RGB LEDs as underglow beneath the keys and the slits on the right

  • 1 XIAO RP2040

  • 6 diodes

  • a very cool name


    CAD: 3 parts: a bottom case, a middle plate to define the keyholes, and a top cover which has slits to let LEDs shine through, keyspaces, and an opening for the OLED Screenshot 2025-12-26 001733

FIRMWARE: Sigmaboard uses QMK. Keys act as arrow keys, with the two oriented on the right in a stack operate as "enter" and "shift"(to play games) OLED screen should display an animation of bones ( that I created from scrath in Photoshop) moving across the screen: bone-animation-2


BOM:

  • 6 Cherry MX Switches
  • 6 DSA Keycaps
  • 4 M3x12mm SHCS Bolts
  • 4 M3x5x4 Heatset inserts
  • 1 XIAO RP2040
  • 1 0.91" 128x32 OLED Display
  • 2 WS2812B LEDs
  • 6 DO-35 diodes

Final notes: I spent a long time on this project and am very proud of it, I would love to get it approved and test it out in person! I learnt a lot about the cadding process, as well as about PCB and the parts needed for projects like keyboards. I will say I feel I didn't learn enough about understanding the code, but it is something I definitely will do once I can test out my keyboard.

Questions

How big is the Sigmapad pcb PCB?

It measures 99.4 × 63.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Sigmapad pcb use?

16 parts, built around the WS2812B. 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 Sigmapad pcb KiCad files?

From the Willyum6/sigmaboard repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is sigmaboard_pcb/sigmapad_pcb.kicad_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic sigmaboard_pcb/sigmapad.sch.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Sigmapad pcb design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Willyum6 before reusing the design.
