Welcome to design.tecsmith.co
About
On this site you will find Silvino R’s public1 custom keyboard and home automation device designs.
The intent here is one of education. My hope is that you will be inspired to create your own electronics and embeded software products.
All my personal (non-commissioned) projects will be hosted here (or rather on Github).
The tools currently used are:
- KiCAD, for electronics schematics and PCB design
- VSCode
- with QMK, for keyboard firmware builds
- with PlatformIO, for automation firmware builds
Fusion 360FreeCAD, for case design

The Goodies
Please note, these projects are a labour of love and are worked on when free time permits. Hence, most of these will be years old, and yet to be completed.
