Void Switch Reference PCB Implementation

A reference implementation of an analog hall effect keyboard (65%) that uses 3D printed Void Switches and a Black Pill (STM32F4x1CEU6) microcontroller board.

WARNING: I haven't had a chance to order and test this yet! Use at your own risk! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Inside this repository is a Kicad 6 project that has everything you need to get started making an analog keyboard PCB that uses 3D printed Void Switches. It was made as part of a tutorial that is currently being worked on. In the mean time--if you know what you're doing--feel to use it as a reference for creating your own analog keyboard PCBs.

Included footprints and symbols

The void_switch_kicad repository was added as a git submodule so don't forget to run git submodule foreach git pull from time to time in order to make sure it stays up-to-date.

There's also:

• kicad_misc_parts which for now just includes a single footprint for a vertical QWIIC/4-pin JST connector that happens to be easy to obtain right now (damn you, parts shortage!).
• kicad_blackpill which contains a simple symbol and footprint for the WeAct Studio Black Pill board. If you're wondering about the staggered pins it's just a neat way to make hand-soldering a bit easier (it holds the headers in place while you solder; so they won't shift around/lean/fall out).

Tutorial and OpenSCAD case/plate files are coming soon!
