Ordering custom PCB - is the PCB reversible? #89

Closed kubami closed 3 years ago

kubami commented 3 years ago

Hi,

thank you for your awesome work @mattdibi. I have chosen redox as my first split keyboard :).

I want to order the PCB from a PCB manufacturer, and I have a question. On the Falba-produced PCBs the right a left sides are different (they have "left" and "right" printed on the silkscreen). But in the KiCAD (and gerber) files there is only one design. Is the PCB reversible? i.e., I can use one PCB printed twice for both sides?

(While I have experience in working with electronics, I have never printed a PCB with a manufacturer, so sorry for a potentially noob question. Also I realise github issues is not the best place to ask a question, which is not really an issue)

Oh, I understand now. I have looked more closely. The PCB is reversible, and the "right" and "left" silkscreen indicates how you should flip the board for the right and left sides.

I will close this issue, but not delete if someone was as not informed as I.
