Improves upon the original by ditching the XIAO and shift register for an onboard STM32 microprocessor, reducing the build time and simplifying kits.
- 36 key unibody split
- Choc spaced, column staggered layout
- Gentle splay on ring and pinky columns
- Onboard STM32F072
- Cirque touchpad support
- Built in mounting standoffs
- 3D Printed Case
- Solder hotswap sockets
- Insert switches into switchplate
- Insert switches into hotswap sockets
- If Cirque
- Use soldering iron to install heatset inserts into Cirque housing
- Insert FPC cable into Cirque
- note: The blue tape side of the cable should face toward from the center of the cirque
- Insert Cirque into housing
- Correct orientation should have the ribbon connector facing the thumb switches, and be right over the hole in the PCB
- A dab or two of hotglue on the underside will help keep it in place.
- The ribbon cable can be bent (but not creased!) to tuck it inside the housing.
- Run FPC cable through Switchplate/PCB
- Connect FPC to PCB
- note: the blue tape side of the cable should be facing away from the PCB
- Flash Firmware
- PCBs are pre-flashed with VIAL, so this step is optional at this time.
- Remove orange stickers from PCB standoffs.
- Insert PCB into bottom case
- Use 8mm countersunk screws through bottom of case into PCB
- If Cirque, use 12mm countersunk screws to attach housing
- Apply rubber feet to bottom of case
- Enjoy!
