TRACK LOST

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

track lost PCB front track lost PCB back track lost PCB traces

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
