I randomly wanted to build a keyboard for some reason… I had to choose which layout to go for, and I chose the 60 percent layout because it’s compact enough to fit and carry around.

Then I had to decide which microcontroller to use.
My options where:

• RPI RP2040
• ATmega32U4

I decided to go with the RP2040 because it’s newer.

Using KLE NG, I made what my keyboard is suppose to look like, then started on the schematics of my keyboard. It’s a 14 x 5 matrix, so I’ll use a total of 19 pins on my RP2040.I also did the layout on the PCB, along with the stabilizers too.

I’ll (try to) wire up the RP2040 and USB C ports tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes. I have absolutely NO idea where the USB C port is suppose to go, but that’s tomorrow’s problem lol.

Whoops I forgot to attach the schematic and now it won’t let me attach it 😭😭😭
