If I had the time, I would write a new article from scratch for Kicad 5. I think there are some opportunities to include some new things like USB Type-C...

Hi Martinsos, can you elaborate on the electric shock problem? What was conducting the shocks? The keyboard case?

Unfortunately there isn't a way to adjust the behaviour of the reset function, it is just how the Atmega chip works.

Hmm, I've built several steel-plate style keyboards, and never had any static shock problems. I do static-shock the keyboard itself all the time, but I suppose my static-shock isn't arcing...

Yeah good point, all the wires will still conduct the shock. The actual trigger for the Atmega chip resetting is the act of shorting the Reset pin to the GND....
