About This Design
We took the handwired MonkiiBoard39 and redrew it as a PCB in KiCad, so the forty-odd wires you would otherwise run by hand become copper traces instead. The layout, the switches and the Pro Micro all stay exactly the same, which means the existing firmware and the same 3D printed plates still fit. Fair warning: this one is designed but not yet fabricated, so what you see here are the CAD renders, the schematic and a clean DRC pass rather than photos of a finished board. The files are on GitHub if you want to send them to a fab house before we do.
