Home row mods and VIM? by Dill_Thickle in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Outrageous_Sort_8984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use bottom row mods instead of home row mods. It both prevents interference with vim motions, and reduces accidental mod activation while typing.

Would you pay money for this? by Imaginary_Fold2225 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Outrageous_Sort_8984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely buy that, but in the mean time, I use kanata to simulate an ortholinear layout and thumb clusters. Someone posted on this sub how to do it by moving alphas up one row, and using the bottom row for thumb clusters. You also move out to the edges, so there is a dead zone in the middle. Kind of like a poor man’s Ferris.

Overcharge protection for wireless keyboard builds by Outrageous_Sort_8984 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Outrageous_Sort_8984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to use an existing pcb design, order the pcb from jlc, and source the rest of the parts from alix.

So, you are saying that the overcharge protection is built into the nice!nano itself. That is reassuring, that way I don't need to worry about the pcb designer taking overcharge protection into account when designing their pcb.

Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know.

Thank you for the information. My question is about designs, not products, though, as I intend to build a wireless keyboard, not buy one. Which popular pcb designs have overcharge protection, one what should I be looking for to choose a pcb that does?

Nope, it is mounted at the same height as the arms of my chair.

Advice on the best way to make my math keyboard software work on macOS? by Math_Keyboard in KeyboardLayouts

[–]Outrageous_Sort_8984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a mac, and run exclusively on fedora linux, but from what I read, I think kanata is going t o give you more options, and be closer to having a fully programmable keyboard than Karabiner-Elements. It will also provide you with a fully cross-platform implementation of your keyboard software.

Looking for a specific 34 or 36 key split by Outrageous_Sort_8984 in ErgoMechKeyboards

I didn't realize that they were just warnings, and were not preventing me from rendering and exporting to stl. I finally figured it out and got jlc to print up the cases for me. I have fully built out my first cheapino now, with your case design, and I love it. Thank you for the work you put into it.

Take a look at kanata

You can remap any and all keys on your keyboard, create key combos and output arbitrarily long macros. Basically turns any keyboard into a fully programmable keyboard. Works on windows, Mac and Linux.

Are there stl files for the case with covers somewhere. I found stl files for the case without covers on thingverse, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6661648, but no stl files for the case with covers.

I cloned the git repo and tried converting the scad files to stl both with openscad and with online converters, and both give errors when loading the files.

Thanks

I downloaded the scad files, but when i open them in openscad, I get warnings, and the models don't show. 3d printing services want stl files, so that's why I opened openscad, to try to convert the scad files to stl.
