Certainly! The Pico Macro Keyboard v2 is a specialized, customizable input device designed for users who require enhanced productivity, such as designers, gamers, and power users. Here’s an overview of the project:
Core Features:
Raspberry Pi Pico 2: This is the primary processing unit of the keyboard, offering flexibility for programming custom keymaps.
Mechanical Switches with Per-Key RGB Lighting: Provides tactile feedback and visual customization, allowing each key to change color independently.
Two Rotary Encoders: These add functionality for tasks like volume control, scrolling, or other user-defined actions.
Modular 4-Layer PCB: Offers flexibility and supports complex circuit layouts for the various features.
Key Components:
Mechanical Switches: These are represented by designators such as $Key1$, $Key6$, etc., which connect to GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Rotary Encoders: Components like $SW14$ and $SW15$, used for turning actions, are connected to GPIO pins for signal processing.
Power Regulation and Management: Includes components like $U2$, which is a voltage regulator, ensuring that correct voltage levels are supplied to the various components.
USB Connectivity: Connectors like $J1$ allow the device to interact with a computer, taking advantage of VBUS and USB data lines (USB_D+ and USB_D-).
Inductive and Capacitive Components: Various capacitors (e.g., $C1$) and inductors (e.g., $L1$) stabilize and filter power signals.
Connectivity:
GPIO Connections: Various GPIO pins are used to interface with keys, encoders, and indicators.
Power Nets: These include nets like +3V3 for powering logic circuits and VSYS for system-level power distribution.
Ground (GND) Network: Commonly shared by many components for completing circuits.
Design Considerations:
RoHS and REACH Compliance: Ensures the components used are environmentally friendly and adhere to certain health safety regulations.
Modular Design: The use of a modular PCB allows for easier modifications and repairs.
These components collectively contribute to creating a versatile keyboard capable of executing programmable actions through key presses and encoder rotations. If there's an area you would like more detailed insight into, feel free to ask!
