Cheap, basic PCB design

kelvinhall05 · 25 May 2020, 17:02

Hi guys. Want to offer some basic and cheap PCB design. All I am really doing is a small step above hand wiring; just diodes, switches, and Pro Micro, but for some people that is enough. All I will need is a layout and some stuff like what switches you plan on using and where you want the Pro Micro. Nothing super complicated, but cheap. I was thinking probably 20-30 CAD (I am not printing the PCBs, I will just make it and send you all the files you need to get them printed). I don't have a ton of experience with anything (relatively) complicated like split boards or whatever, but if all you want is a 60% or macro pad or whatever, I can do it easily.

Only "requirements" I have are that I am limited to 81 keys (9x9 matrix, highest Pro Micro supports cause that uses 18 pins) and I am not going to make plates, firmware, anything, just the PCB. I will also not make you a switch footprint, although I currently can do Alps Plate Springs, SKCL/SKCM, Cherry MX, Space Invaders, and I probably have a few more I can't remember at the moment (and I can probably try and find some footprints online for the switch of your choosing).

If this is something you'd be interested in lmk.

Some screenshots of PCBs I have done:

"Focus58", a 60% Alps PCB with Focus layout (this is the back of the PCB, just a screenshot from a 3D renderer)

Spoiler:

Space Invaders PCB I made for Arun on the Discord (also the back side):

Alps SKCP macro pad I made for SneakyRobb:

What case was that Space Invader PCB designed to fit?

Wasn't designed for a case afaik. I believe he has made a thread on it somewhere here. I did actually mess up some stuff on that PCB, but I'm not one to try and hide my mistakes.
