Since y'all didn't react much to my post yesterday of the new keyboard I'm making from scratch, I decided to post the PCB aswell in hopes to trigger some people. Enjoy, open to any question, comments, concerns, insults, what ever.
What resources have you used to make this? I've tried to make my own pcb once using kicad. I was using rp2040. My goal was to make 60% keyboard to avoid buying a lot of switches but in the end only what i've done was small key hub. The main thing that was keeping me away from my goal was knowledge. I'm programming not designing and i have never before done anything related to designing pcbs nor i was aware how to work with popular MCU. I've found few articles about making keyboard matrixs and was using rp2040 documentation but i had problem with general electrical stuff. Do you recommend any basic course or material to fill those gaps?
I designed this keyboard from scratch. In the comments i talked about the resources i used. I used a guid for the atmega32u4 but its well doable to replace the atmega32u4 with the rp2040. If i were to design another keyboard today, i would also prefer the rp2040 due to cost and availability.
If you have any other questions feel free to reach out.
