I opened up an Cherry MX8100. It had a card reader and a buzzer so it had a few PCBs inside. I like how these pictures turned out.

Per suggestion (I didn't know this thread existed) here are some of the PCB designs I've done in the past.  Some are functional electronics, others are, well, "special" :)


This was the puzzle badge for Defcon 20.  The top part was a fully developed dev platform, complete with PS2 keyboard, VGA, mouse and mic.


Did a set of playing cards, fabricated PCBs.  All the art was done in the free version of Eagle just to see if I could do it.  For those not familiar, it's NOT graphic design software :)


Close up of some of the playing card PCBs.  Wired magazine did a write up of them.


Defcon 22 circuit board badge.  Note the double rows of through holes on each side- some of the pads are square, some are round, it was an encoded secret message :)


More of the Defcon 22 badges


Skull done as copper layer on PCB

That's probably enough for now.  After Defcon this year I will continue work on doing a keyboard PCB with art/colors as part of the PCB...it's going to be kind of a pet project...

Yes- and interesting side note to that-  at one point I got a strange error from Eagle (granted it's German software, so I get if there was a translation issue but this was just weird)- the error said "Too many points in the x direction"  - so being curious I rotated everything to see if I could get "Too many points in the y direction"-  Strangely I did not....

Yes, doing art in PCB software is it's own form of punishment-  most people putting art on PCBs are taking vector graphics and doing an import in something like Altium- but most of the PCB apps make any imported art (vector or other) look like ass, for various reasons...

Also, since some of the art is in the copper layer, these boards all fail most fab house design rule checks about a billion times...it's fun trying to explain to the fab house that you really did mean for that skull to be in copper...

Awesome stuff, 1o57!

I don't put a lot of "art" onto my PCBs... but I do spend a lot of time making the traces aesthetically pleasing, which most people don't even see (if it's opaque solder mask), or wouldn't appreciate even if they could.

I usually find room for my avatar logo in exposed copper. Here's a shot of the JD45 PCB that arrived today.

Yeah, it took me quite a while to develop a good workflow for dealing with overlapping pads (i.e. bottom row variants). In my layouts, all bottom row footprints are MX-only unless I manually add the Alps pads, and then tweak the annular rings to be the most they can be. The tiny Alps pads which are also cut by MX mount holes make me cringe, though...  :rolleyes:

Not keyboard related at all, but the first ever PCB that I have laid out and got printed.
It is intended as a replica of a circuit board on a movie prop.

Made at DirtyPCBs.com, as a prototype. Needs to be trimmed: I had made it a bit large because I did not know if the edge was going to be cut exactly as I had specified. I had also not expected there to be solder mask.. nah well, but it is the correct colour. :)

So here is my first board that went into mass production.  I don't have any pics of just the board without parts, but this one is pretty close. 



That is actually a prototype version.  Not too exciting, but it is getting there.

The PCB printers also assembled the boards, since SMD soldering is a *****. 

Here is a pic of a few hundred of the finished boards with the custom 3D printed part I made for them attached.



That first board was super simple, but it took forever to do since I had to teach myself KiCAD, openSCAD, and basic electronics from scratch.  I have never attempted any electronics work before starting this project.  The board that I'm working on is much more complicated.  We have gone through about 5 small run prints with it and we keep finding things to add, change, or fix.  I dug the last version out of the trash and took a pic.

It is a housing for some sensors that are underneath.  All the stuff I posted is part of a big project making sensors for deployment in the field.  The tiny tube things fit through holes cut into the weatherproof enclosure so the sensors and have access outside of the closed environment.  The underside of the 3D printed part presses up flush against the PCB, and we can fill just those spots with potting compound to prevent damage from water, wind, and critters.  The big lot of boards in the second pic has the same 3D part attached, but in orange (school colors).

Awesome work for a first go! Welcome to the club! :)



So here is my first board that went into mass production.  I don't have any pics of just the board without parts, but this one is pretty close. 

That is actually a prototype version.  Not too exciting, but it is getting there.

The PCB printers also assembled the boards, since SMD soldering is a *****. 

Here is a pic of a few hundred of the finished boards with the custom 3D printed part I made for them attached.

That first board was super simple, but it took forever to do since I had to teach myself KiCAD, openSCAD, and basic electronics from scratch.  I have never attempted any electronics work before starting this project.  The board that I'm working on is much more complicated.  We have gone through about 5 small run prints with it and we keep finding things to add, change, or fix.  I dug the last version out of the trash and took a pic.

Per suggestion (I didn't know this thread existed) here are some of the PCB designs I've done in the past.  Some are functional electronics, others are, well, "special" :)

This was the puzzle badge for Defcon 20.  The top part was a fully developed dev platform, complete with PS2 keyboard, VGA, mouse and mic.

Defcon 22 circuit board badge.  Note the double rows of through holes on each side- some of the pads are square, some are round, it was an encoded secret message :)

Those are sweet. I know who I will be spamming with questions if I ever design my own pcb. :thumb:

The Joey Quinn edition JD45 PCBs

People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

I'd try to focus on traces but my phone camera is literally too ****ty to pull it off.

Dat silk. Nice.

I avoid silkscreen overlapping pads, as in the past, some fabs wouldn't mask out the overlaps and I'd get paint on the pads... but I may have to give it a go again.  ;)

Honestly something like that didn't really occur to me but every time I've had boards made they mask it off.

Sometimes I explicitly ask them to overlap (see bottom right corner):

Plenty of lulz in that one.

There is all kinds of epic on that screen...all kinds...

Are you into circuit bending?

Not really... I've made stuff for chiptune - synths, Gameboy mods, etc. but not actually bend circuits to make glitchy noise  ;)
