Heya,
I saw someone else post their KiCAD design here for review. Now I would like to ask what improvements could be done with mine. I read a lot of documentation and followed many a YT tutorial the past two weeks and I am by no means experienced with PCBs or even many aspects of microelectronics aside from PC building.
I know that the data line from the USB C connector could wind up being a source of trouble because of the lengths. Is there anything here I could do?
I can only upload single images for posts, so I’ll try putting another one in the comments that shows the generalized layout of the right keyboard.
Peace and love
Cheers! Much obliged. Will definitely be adding ESD protection.
I based the USB power circuitry on a reference that assumes Micro-USB and I know that USB-C is really different when it comes to power. I’ll see that I put a resistor there, as you did.
The point about connecting up the redundant pins is also an interesting one, think I need to look into the PDF for the specific part I’m using to know what extra work is necessary, if it is necessary. 👍
