Overview

Yetiboard is an open-source printed circuit board by yerbapadre, from the yerbapadre/yetiboard repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 201.1 × 561.5 mm with 77 parts on 60 nets.

Its parts include 38 diodes and 38 switches. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards of this library.

My first truly custom keyboard.

Overview

In this README, I'll walk through my experience on the ergo-keyboard journey.

First, a little about me though! I'm new to the custom keyboard scene and I don't know how deep I'll eventually go. My aspirations as of now are as follows:

  1. Finish one (seriously can't let this be another half-finished project)

And my specific keyboard goals!

  1. 1 key away
  2. Macro-friendly
  3. Lok cool

So for now, I've settled on a 38-key design. Taking a lot of ideas from my first ergo keyboard - the Glove80. The only thing I can say for the Glove80 design is that it is excellent. So, for this first stab, I hope to mimic the layout I've been using for the past few months and continue the use of home-row mods, tri-thumb keys, and layers.

Questions

How big is the Yetiboard PCB?

It measures 201.1 × 561.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Yetiboard use?

77 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 Yetiboard KiCad files?

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

Can I use the Yetiboard design in my own project?

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