Group Build prototyping phase

ccc24 · 20 Oct 2015, 08:28

Do you know what the switch mounting hole diameter is? And the width(thickness) of the pcb?

Stabilized · 20 Oct 2015, 13:52

Oh man, that is such a beauty. Keep telling myself I don't need more keyboards, then stuff like this comes along

nicstreet · 20 Oct 2015, 23:23

I really have to stop reading through all the old posts, is really going to start costing me a fortune. Is it too late to register interest? Fingers crossed x

ccc24 · 21 Oct 2015, 08:49

will there be different color cases?

I have interest in it too, but i do not think it's too late for register as the PCB prototype arrived just a bit sooner, am i right?

matt3o · 21 Oct 2015, 11:25

no it's not too late. unfortunately the latest prototype still have few issues so I had to request a new one. I guess it will be ready for Christmas...

on a side note I'm pushing to make also a limited edition in dark gold anodized aluminum and black on black keycaps... mmmh delicious

kri5 · 21 Oct 2015, 11:32

Yumminess ahead!

Phew, I thought for a second I had missed an official IC or something! Do you know what format the GB will be in? Will it just be on here, or will it be another Massdrop thing?

andrewjoy · 21 Oct 2015, 18:05

Is it a HHKB? is it a standard 60% ? Nobody Knows! But i want it.

I call it the UNIX60

Split that right Shift, you insensitive clod! With an HHKB top row like that, you're still in non-standard 60% caps territory anyway.

andrewjoy · 21 Oct 2015, 18:09

Thats an option too !

i just don't know why the UNIX60 does not exist.

EDIT

Updated.

EDIT2

With mx compatible topre mounts! And High Profile PBT!

kri5 · 29 Oct 2015, 14:49

On which software did you realized you CAD files? Do you plan to share them?

matt3o · 29 Oct 2015, 16:39

the GH60 supports that layout

What my UNIX60 ?

I don't think thats ever going to ship

I have 2

European orders have been shipped, you can find some in the classified

andrewjoy · 29 Oct 2015, 17:58

Hmm possibly something for next year , all funds will be on the 4704 remake i think.

And then i would have to brave the GH classifieds. You need protection from the xenos.

Running USB on that chip without a crystal is officially out-of-spec, although it *does* work (as mchck and infinity KB demonstrated); I'm just curious.

I'm porting TMK to run on ARM Teensies, and I want to make sure that it will include also whitefox, so I'd like to know about the crystal. (TMK works fine by now, I'm now making sure that EEPROM support works as well, to have the bootmagic stuff working.)

Keyboard has a similar setup to the Infinity Ergodox, this means it has a 16 MHz crystal (just like the Teesny 3s).
I sent hasu a pcb a few weeks back (as well as an Infinity Ergodox beta pcb). The Whitefox is a bit easier to port than the Infinity Ergodox, so it may be ready earlier

Just look for code that has

Code: Select all

defined(_mk20dx256vlh7_)

and you should be fine.
For example: https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/b ... 0dx.c#L516

yeah i built a gh60 in that layout

a friend of mine is working on another PCB that will support this too.

additionally, hasu's alps64 supports this layout as well. cap support is another matter.

Any update on any progress made?

matt3o · 15 Nov 2015, 08:47

I should get everything this coming week. I hope everything will be fine. We are on track for Christmas release!

Awesome, so excited

I can't wait to see more. I am also *very* curious about the keycaps you are working on...

matt3o · 17 Nov 2015, 15:45

did I mention there will also be a special edition gold anodized?

Stop it. You're killing me!

matt3o · 21 Nov 2015, 00:12

I've got tracking for the (hopefully) last pre production sample! I'll get it next Tuesday!

potatowire · 21 Nov 2015, 03:47

WooHoo!

matt3o · 23 Nov 2015, 17:16

I got them! Now I have to check that everything's working. In the meantime...

Muirium · 23 Nov 2015, 17:29

That text mod has got an icon on it… and those foxes look damn sharp…

The plate's got a nice patina, too.

matt3o · 23 Nov 2015, 17:31

I'll post better pictures, the camera-phone mangled the legends a little, they are actually sharper than they look there.
