![]() ![]() ![]() It would also allow the sharing of modifications to existing designs to be much easier to understand. It would also be a huge educational tool, allowing people to look at the schematic, then check out the breadboard layout, reproduce it on a real breadboard, then output the Gerber file to produce the now-tested design as a PCB. This would allow people who are not experienced with hardware design but want to build custom keyboards a real jump start on the process. This could be combined with the work already done here for KiCAD ( ) so the spacing would be the same and interchangeable. It doesn't, as far as I can tell, have built in support for things like Cherry MX switches, but it would be very cool if there was a Keyboard Design library that we could contribute to it, allowing for various hole-arrangements (with LEDs, without, etc.), the spacing for various key sizes, and several standard keyboard PCB sizes (40%, 60%, Full, ErgoDox, etc.). It seems like it could also be a great way to build customized keyboard designs. ![]() I love that it allows you to see your project as a schematic, on the PCB, and in a simulated breadboard. I was looking at Fritzing ( ) and it seems like a great tool for learning to make hardware. ![]()
