picture of a cinqx half keyboard rendered in FreeCAD

5x6 ortholinear maximalist macropad

Version 1

Really simple grid intended for Pimironi Tiny2040 but also for Seeed XIAO RP2040.
Used all my current skills of KiCAD and FreeCAD for it. I must admit i wanted it to be the first keyboard build that not use proprietary software.
What i used:

Used For:
KiCAD

Electrical schematics & PCB Drawing
Inkscape

2D drawings
FreeCAD

Case designing using pcb sizing and Inkscape SVGs
Scribus, Gimp, Mypaint, Tiddlywiki

all extras stuff, such as documentation and the paper documentation that come with the board

As all my keyboard build this board comes with KMK as keyboard firmware. It uses CircuitPython.

Enclosure Design

I pushed out my limits on FreeCAD and also used some workbenches i usually don't use that much. Design wise it's a little stacked 2 parts case, all part should align nicely without any use of additional parts
