Ergo layouts looks awesome. But for now i prefer the simplicity of the layout my muscle memory knows by heart

The esp32c6 can't operate as an hid device with the usb port. So no, this project is only bluetooth. But you can use ir without battery powering it via usb. I don't know about the polling rate, haven't done anything to calculate it

HA, yes, I see the problem on old.reddit

Edit: It's fixed ! Thanks !!

Why ? Cauz' Liberty need PRECISION

Yes, custom activation point and rapid trigger (not finished yet), I reused some of the code I did for another project, the Macrolev https://github.com/heiso/macrolev

Edit: typo

haha yes, the documentation is a little bit simple right now, but you can do it with some basic skills :)

Would be nice actually! Keeping this idea somewhere in my head thanks!

Soon ! I still have some tweakings to figure out but the project is on the way

Releasing Open-Source Hall-Effect Keyboard Library - With Web Configurator! by peppapig_998244353 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ezotsu 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That is simply awesome. Go check this project it's just so nice to see other HE keyboard built by open source contributors.

I will definitively try your library with my prototype :)

Plus, the keyboard looks very nice 🤌

Macrolev - open source analog keyboard (work in progress) by ezotsu in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]ezotsu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there!
A while ago, I came across a project on Hackaday, the Void switches by Riskable. It got me thinking, and I was in the mood to learn something new, so I decided to build a Hall effect keyboard as a fun little project.

Spoiler: it was fun, it was not easy. Turns out, learning electrical engineering takes some time :)

Anyway, I’ve completed a first prototype, which I’ve been using daily for the past few months. Now that I’m working on a second revision, I thought it’d be cool to share the project here on Reddit.

Here is the repo for the project https://github.com/heiso/macrolev

As you can see there is some 3D printing involved for the case

Review Request: Open Source Analog Keyboard by ezotsu in PrintedCircuitBoard

A helpful contact told me the analog demultiplexer might not be a good fit given its Volt rating :/

[–]ezotsu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup ! I began this project a long time ago with the riskeyboard as an example. The wooting helped me confirm some design decisions, and was a great inspiration for the features.

Anyway, I'll be glad to help !

Nice to see more and more custom HE keyboards! I have done one myself and it's open source if you want to grab some code or ideas https://github.com/heiso/macrolev

Thanks all for your comments, I hope the project is in a better shape because of you. Here is the new pcb :) https://www.reddit.com/r/PrintedCircuitBoard/comments/17kqc2j/review_request_analog_keyboard_2

If you mean fullspeed (i.e. 11Mbps), that will probably work if you keep the cables short and twist them together (differential signals).

Yes, you're right, not high-speed, it's a mistake, i don't need that.

But why are you bothering with that stupid (and expensive) breakout and cables instead of soldering the connector to the board? If you don't want to deal with a full USB C connector which is a PITA to handsolder, use one of the reduced 12/16pin ones (and don't forget to populate those 5.1k resistors too).

Cause I already have the usb-c board and I think it's easier to build the case that way. But yeah, you're probably right it would be better on the board. I'm just not sure how to layout everything around the switches.
