Working on a PCB design over on EasyEDA.com
« on: Tue, 25 April 2017, 09:30:30 »
Hey everyone! I've been working on a keyboard over at https://EasyEDA.com, and I have some questions about PCB design that I want to ask. (My PCB design is here https://easyeda.com/SNReloaded/SNR_Unnamed_PCB-44973685275b4c3b95a39d24d535fb30)

1) How do I say "Here are the edges of the PCB" so that when I order them, they are to the correct dimension?
2) What microcontroller should I use in order to give me access to using tools such as QMK?
3) How/Where do I put mounting holes so that it will working in a standard 60% case?

Thanks!

BTW, this is what the layout of the keyboard is suppose to be.

Can't be of much help for your first 2 questions but this might help with the mount holes:

You draw with the wire or arc tool on the board outline layer. (purple)

2) What microcontroller should I use in order to give me access to using tools such as QMK?
TMK and QMK support Cortex-M and Atmel 8-bit AVR MCUs. In short, your best friend will be Atmel ATMega32u4.

3) How/Where do I put mounting holes so that it will working in a standard 60% case?
Use positions provided by Pwner, as for the actual mounting hole, I use 7 mm plated pads with 2 mm hole diameter and 5 mm hole length for round mounting holes and 12 * 7 oval plated pads with 2 mm diameter and 10 mm hole length for side mounting holes.
