Kicad Mechanical Keyboard Template

This is a template project (without actually being a KiCad template), it aims to facilitate the repetitiveness of starting a new mechanical keyboard project from scratch.

It already has the following libraries added

• MX_Alps_Hybrid by ai03
• random-keyboard-parts by ai03

Get Started

You need to install Git for the next step.

1. Clone this project and the submodules

git clone [email protected]:RodPaDev/kicad-keyboard-template.git <PROJECT_NAME>
or
git clone https://github.com/RodPaDev/kicad-keyboard-template.git <PROJECT_NAME>

git submodules init
git submodules update

2. Rename files:

If you don't have python installed, just do it manually.

Automatic:

python rename.py <YOUR_PROJECT_NAME>

If you make a typo you'll have to change the preifx variable to the current name (the one you entered)

Manual:

Rename the following files:

Keyboard_Template.kicad_pcb
Keyboard_Template.pro
Keyboard_Template.sch

Notes:

This does not have anything done yet, the implementation is up to you. However, I may add branches in the future with some of the more "generic" parts already implemented and ready to use.
