TRACK LOST

F12 TKL type-C PCB for the Duck Orion. Designed in KiCad 6.0

Features

• QMK and VIAL compatible
• Uses an RP2040 MCU with 32MB of external flash
• Uses WS2812C-2020 LEDs for smaller footprint and less power usage
• Has more underglow LEDs for better LED diffusion
• Indicators use SK6812mini-e LEDs instead
• Multi-layout
• BOOTRESET button if bootmagic isn't available
• ESD chip to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge
• Polyfuse to prevent overcurrent
• Gerber and files available for manufacturing and assembly with JLCPCB (In track-lost/JLCPCB folder)
• Curved traces

Firmware

WIP

Multi-Layout Support

• Supports both ANSI and ISO layouts
• Supports both 6.25u and 7u spacebar
• Supports split backspace
• Supports split right shift

Indicator LEDs

The typical LEDs on the original Duck Orion PCB are TX LEDs that you have to solder in. But for this PCB, SK6812mini-e reverse-mount ARGB LEDs were used instead.

• Reverse mount to keep all components on the same side of the PCB for cheaper assembly
• RGB and programmable
• NOTE: Because these are surface mounted onto the PCB, they'll likely leak light (I'll update this when I test it out). Could be fixed with light pipes or something else to isolate the rays from each other.

WIP

• Add photos of PCBs
• Add photos of PCB in case
• Add photo of original PCB LED difussion vs TRACK LOST PCB LED difussion
• Create and add firmware to repo
