Introduction

Rico's Leyden Jar has been selected

Note: this post will be updated. As such it shall be considered work in progress. A change log is shown at the end.
Last change 2025.01.01 (yyyy.mm.dd)

The controller is considered priority 0, being 0 the highest priority.

At the time of posting this text, a very valid controller is available: Rico's Leyden Jar

As Rico himself states, it is a "xwhatsit controller in steroids" ;)

QMK and Vial firmware are available. Modifications to the code will be required to ensure the layout and, in the future additions as the (priority 4) OLED display.

Constraints
  • Interface to the PCB
  • Physical integration - case
  • LEDs and/or OLED decision to be taken
Alternatives to be considered
  • Built-in/integrated controlled - impacts the controller and the case. It may increase cost as the controller requires 4 layer PCB while the sensing PCB can used 2
