Etash J Covers 8 devlogs and 6h 51m

Spent a LOT of time in onshore designing a case and keycap, but the extension didn't work. But here's a final render without colors (I couldn't figure it out). Also made a BOM.

Update attachment

Finished the first render of the board with switches and a few other components. Added mounting points for m3 screws.

Update attachment

This decoy should be combined with the last one lol it didn’t record time properly

~~Kicad Wakatime plugin is actually criminal I worked for at least 3 hours I swear. ~~
Routing is done! probably going to add some graphics for the silkscreen for fun. Case is coming soon...? Considering how to incorporate an 18650 cell if I can or if I should stick to a standard battery. Also how to create a tent out of laser cut acrylic.

Update attachment

PCB design made! Except the right half doesn't have proper net names yet and will be updated soon :) Routing also coming

Update attachment

Board outline complete in ergogen, and the key layout has been created as well (not shown)

Update attachment

Did the first layout in ergogen (currently at 40 keys) going to do a layer plan (MIryoku inspired?) and see if it works out or requires some extra config.

Update attachment

Got some data on where my fingers naturally lie using Ergopad (super hype site), going to learn the config for ergogen to make the keyboard layout
