weird... but if you like it... go for it!

[ماء]

I've try a lot of my prototype

It(new syemtric)
Columnar(like ergodox)
Matrix layout (with column pinky lower)
But,i still confused for chossing

For equipment,less
Teensy++ 2.0
Cable ribbon
most difficult is plate, i want make plate own
any suggestion for plate but easy for making holes

[matt3o]

join this http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/ ... t6102.html for the plate!

Dinamit, actually i want, but shipping,pricing.etc:(always be a problem
matt3o for split (2 halves) approximately what price+ship asia?

the whole case might be around €100 + shipping. Where are you in Asia?

Southeast Asia indonesian exactly:P

[Muirium]

Nothing to be ashamed of. Indonesia's like the Germany of the Pacific. While Australia is obviously its England.

[matt3o]

Shipping to Indonesia is pretty expensive indeed. I think in the €35-45 range for tracked shipping.

Thank matt ,maybe i will make plates in my country

Spoiler:

for plate it seems i will used stick ice cream
How connect 2 halves i want detachable like ergodox but with other connector AT/USB or etc.
Any idea

[ماء]

matt3o,for matrix cables you recomend?

1.BREADBOARD JUMPER CABLEs MALE TO MALE
2.JUMPER MALE TO FEMALE CABLEs
3.JUMPER FEMALE TO FEMALE CABLEs

which you recommend?
Thanks

[matt3o]

for the matrix? simple straight wire. not sure what you are talking about...

Oh,i mean cables for wires(Colmns) and diodes(Rows) to controller...

[matt3o]

it's a standard wire, not a breadboard jumper cable.

[Vierax]

ماء : It's multicoloured wires maybe this is what that leads you to think about jumper cables

[ماء]

Finally i have plates unfortunately with acrylic,can't wait for make my board still waiting some equipment...

[phosphorglow]

Just wanted to say how fantastically gorgeous this board is! I love everything about it - very nice work sir!

[Muirium]

And, best of all, you can make one for yourself!



(I am my own personal Webwit when it comes to flaunting this keyboard.)

thanks!

we might have a GB this year to build these kind of keyboards... maybe I could set up 3 layouts to choose from (sub-60%, 60%, 65%)...

Great idea! I'd love to help out. Having plate designs done in advance means that people are a lot less likely to have a wrong plate, and then we could also provide firmware for each of the three designs for people who aren't comfortable with editing code themselves.

I would definitely join this. I already have an idea what I want

absolutely, having the teensy already burnt with the right firmware would be great!

of course if you want a custom design I can add it to the mix, but I won't design it for you, sorry guys, that takes too much time.

[scottc]

Actually, for the 60% and smaller than 60% ones people could save money by getting the $3 Pro Micro clones from eBay. I think they have 16 pins (can't remember for sure) so an 8x8 matrix would give us 64 keys with some creative wiring.

[matt3o]

the idea would be to make a big order of teensy's, at that point maybe it would be cheaper to use only that

[scottc]

That works too, and would probably be a lot less hairy

I forget for asking..
matt3o for diodes,how much amperage? i've buy diodes with 2amp

[matt3o]

Any 1N4148 diode will do (but I bet others are fine as well)

2amp seems overkill though

OK, i will searching 1N4148 i hope exist though
I've buy diodes IN4007 MIC 2amp not recomended in here....so,i will buy 1amp if so

EDIT:I found 1N148 exist on my country

thanks matt

[Vierax]

1N148 is very common and cheap, any electronic component store should sell this diode the only issue is that a bunch of them increase the consumption of the device so if your keyboard is wireless you should putt a good battery (a bluetooth shield pumps some current too)

[collector of junk]

what do (in very basic terms) do the diodes do ??
I've rebuilt two keyboards .one access is with cherry four pins with the diodes in them
and I'm doing another pos rebuild with cherry two pins but no diodes on the main board .unless "the magic" done on the controller ?

[Broadmonkey]

NKRO, it's pretty hard to obtain that without diodes.
