Video

Gotta say, these streams are so lovely to have in the background while working on your own projects.

I needed to say this, i don't normally coment on videos, but the fact that watching you explain how the keyboard works and how the code function made me jump in to building my own keyboard. Just wanted to say thank you for it! My first pcb (from another video you made) it is on they way. Soon will be jumping in to the qmk code. Thanks!

I have no words... This is just amazing and simple! Thank you so much!!!!

This reminds me a little bit of this ancient Kickstarter that had a lot of hype and made a bunch of money but never actually manufactured anything so far as I remember, something called the King's Assembly The gyroscope function might be really useful for 3D work that you'd normally use a Spaceball for

Thanks for this, but... what is the prerequisite knowledge for this? I don't even know what a shield is (yeah I looked it up but I'm just using this as an example). It seems like I'm supposed to know a bunch of stuff before watching this video. I did the ZMK tutorial on getting started, but everything else in the docs also seem to assume some prerequisite knowledge. PS I do know Git and Github, as I am a web developer.

can this nice!nano be used with qmk frmware?

Hey Joe I love your keyboard and you inspire me. I see that you always glue the boards to the base of keyboard. And it is ok because it is permanent solution and keyboard is not supposed to be changed frequently. Can I give a suggestion to you so instead of glue? My idea is to have a small stripe that you put over the board and have 2 screw on both tops. I didn't try it but I will on my next keyboard. Just an idea. For me the perfect solution would be to screw the board but there are no space for screw on it. keep the good work

You And Your Work. Awesome 😎

I don't think they made the Engram layout. It is a statically sound layout made by Arno Klein in 2021.

The -p stands for --parents. Not for path. It will make every "parent" dir if it does not exist.

I read the thumbnail so wrong "Improve your Handwriting" and thumbnail shows pcb with wires. (ngl i was so confused for a solid min there)

Nice video! very informative, im gonna try to make one of these but maybe not on vga ;)

Hey im getting into keyboard stuff and im wondering, would it not be possible to make a split ergo keyboard but only using 1 microcontroller? i dont exactly see why not as maybe i could just use some usb or connector or whatever, but perhaps you have some ideas?

Hi Joe, I notice that there are typically two UI of nice!view, and I prefer yours. So what should I do to switch between these two UI. Thanks!

How would I go about doing this for an already existing keyboard its' pcb? I'm thinking about perhaps at some point arranging a custom shell for the Monsgeek m1w HE i'm about to adopt, but I dont think anything I would like to do to it is possible with the default switchplate and case, nor does anyone sell aftermarket stuff for it that does what i want.

Hi Joe, is that controller mounting the "Socket_Pins_2x12" in your updated footprint library? I'm just beginning a new macropad design and would love to have the controller fit lower like that. Great idea!!!

perfect video. wanted to do a project, showed me exactly how to do it. thanks. keyboard is printing now

I just love your videos. Thank you for that.

Yo do u have any videos on how you do your wiring? Im in awe, it looks likes somer crazy future geometric plumbing matrix with all the care taken in the world for each solder just like a true welder might take lots of care to work on getting beautiful/almost art welds all over a passion project.

This is awsome, would love a choc version of this pcb for the lower profile

i like the build, but the sound is so plastic and hollow

Best diagram

when will you do a dactyl manuform keyboard review or build

why go through everything, but then not show the last 3 steps?

can I use mill max socket instead of kailh hotswap socket?

is the placeholder_diode surface mount diode or through hole?

My local electronics store doesn't seem to have bare wire like yours, is it an Amazon find or something?

Will it use the ATmega32U4? I have some and need to give them a use.

best work from you ! kudos. Getting one for sure.

What do you do with CTRL ALT and Windows key?

I have a question i want make my custom macro pad and it will be my first project is it good to start with that project as beginner i did start making the model idea and i did want to know if its possible for a beginner to make macro pad ?

PRO TIP: Professionals never use lead-free solder for hand soldering outside of full production, and neither should you. Go with 63/37, or 60/40 if that's all you've got. The heat for leaded solder is around 200 to 230 C, so it's much easier to do a good job and not overheat chips. Leaded solder also flows much better, because it has higher adhesion to other metals. Leaded solder will flow and soak in, while unleaded would just sit there in a ball. Leaded solder is also more flexible, so it doesn't break as easily. And it doesn't grow whiskers, like unleaded. And don't worry about lead being neurotoxic, you're too dumb for lead poisoning to make any difference anyways (jk)

9:25 Plate forks… making the difference between few minutes and few seconds.

The awful explanation as for me. As ussual, it's clear what to to but "Where to do" and "Why to do" is completely missing.

How important is alignment of the hotswap sockets with regards to ensuring the switches/keycaps each stay aligned and not twisted or crooked vs the ones around them?

36keys is just perfect you should revive this keyboard and add the bluetooth and lcd screen to it I tried PCB but I keep damaging them, handwiring is better IMO more forgiving. Need good 3d printer for the switch plate and case

So this is just corne but not split? Kinda loses the idea behind the split keyboards, but it's convenient for someone who wants to try something not staggering still keeping the solid keyboard

Thank you very much for what your video contributes, but I am still pending the process of ordering the PCB, since I like the idea of ​​designing and modifying, for example the Corne V3 and making a personalized version, but I am stopped when putting the order. I searched on the Internet and I have not been able to find the ideal one, for example, the thickness of the PCB, the amount of grams of copper (you explained the ideal termination for those of us who use a common soldering iron) and countless other options that JLC ​​or PCB gives you at time to order. Thanks again for your content

Expectation: 5 mins. Reality: Debugging for 1 hour LOL. But thanks for the comprehensive tutorial. Indeed this requires basic programming knowledge and some sort of common sense

Personally i basically only use SMD diodes, but i like using a hybrid footprint for them, it sometimes even makes the routing easier because you can be on whichever layer to connect traces into the throughhole slots. Edit: Also when soldering, apply some solder into one of the pads on the sockets / smd diodes, and then you can just place the componen into place and apply heat to the pad again. Its way easier than putting the componen down and then soldering. Another edit: I've used painters tape in place of kapton tape with no problems, it might be easier to get your hands on if you need it ASAP

cleaaan what do you think of doing an oled variant?

W

Damn I wish I thought of that kapton tape trick when I made my board. I had to rip out all my pins and start from scratch. I am lucky I didn't lift any traces while trying to desolder the pins that had solder flow into the socket.
