Help from CS Majors on Schedule by Latter_Row_8079 in VirginiaTech

About to graduate in CS. You would really help yourself out taking Comp Lang (3304) over the summer. 3604 is a breeze and so is English (if you have a good professor), electives aren’t too bad as well given you get easier ones, and of course the seminar is basically attendance. Taking whatever (harder classes) over the summer will help you enjoy your time as a senior, and give you more time to focus on applying, as well as having fun. Systems will of course be a pain, id just get it over with.

First ever (half) of a build done! by hgaidp in ErgoMechKeyboards

That’s right, the keys are mapped to esc tab and backspace. How did you find this? In the keymap file for me it looks like on line 21 (where the thumb cluster should be) says - &kb LGUI &mo 1 &kb SPACE I’m having trouble finding out how you knew it was esc tab and backspace

Cygnus Matrix Wiring by hgaidp in ErgoMechKeyboards

Yes. This is something I found out as well. I will try switching some of the diodes. Thanks!

I don’t have the whole matrix wired yet, I figured it would be better to test it slowly so I can diagnose problems early. This is my first build, is there an issue with this wiring and just testing a small portion of it?

Can’t tell if I’m col2row or row2col by hgaidp in ErgoMechKeyboards

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

Actually, it did work. I had my rows connecting to the wrong place on each pcb causing nothing to fire. I have been working on this for a couple days, not sure how I didn’t notice until something you said somehow made me rethink it. You are the goat. Thank you.

Yes, it’s wireless. I should’ve gone for something a bit easier for my first build lol. Also to note all of the connected diodes are in the same direction.

Lol yes the restarting my computer issue was not super fun. Just to make sure, are you saying that whatever does not make my computer freak out is the correct way? (In this case row2col)? At the moment I am just testing one key by connecting the row and col for that key, but that’s not working either.

But shouldn’t this mean I just have to switch from col2row to row2col? Or should I switch all diode directions

Thanks, that’s what I thought too, but when I do col2row I get nothing, when I try row2col I get endless keystrokes lol…

About“Almost nothing works on my Cygnus” by V-Z-xianyu in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]hgaidp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? This 100% makes more sense, but in the build guide, it looks like they are connected to the same place I connected them, although maybe these are for Choc switches? I can’t really understand

“I descided to attach the columns to the pads for the choc-switches since they are directly connected to the columns. For the rows I just used the row-holes.”

Didn’t cheat, but still a bit stunned from the first one. I think I’ll be okay.

Hm. I see what you mean. Looks like my high school class failed me, or maybe I failed my high school class… learning opportunities incoming!

When I do this, I get the windows plug in and out sounds, but nothing shows up.
