Just started printing a new pair of bottom pieces for my keyboard, with sockets for carbon fiber tubes to join the two sides together. The print will probably take close to 2 days. 🫠

I recently (a few weeks ago) finished putting the latest version of my Dactyl Lynx #keyboard together, using my Snowshoe MX single-switch PCBs, and I'm incredibly happy with the results!

Handwired keyboard question:

As I was using my keyboard, suddenly a during a keypress (in the "row" of two keys in the middle) the entire column is being triggered (and flickering). I checked the connections on the keys but I could not find any shorts.

What could this be? Should I resolder everything just to be sure?

After a few hours of scratching my head about the diode wiring, my #diy #dactyl #manuform #splitkeyboard is wired up and working!

Now I need to do the other half 😭

The thick enamel wire is horrible to solder to (at least I'm sure there won't be any shorts!) and the config is really confusing to reason about.

But it's all set up with #Vial #QMK so at least I can change the keymap without recompiling/flashing!

Finally starting to build the latest version of my Dactyl Lynx keyboard! Many thanks to my coworker Baran for printing me some new keyboard parts while my 3D printer is in storage. Now to start soldering...

😢 😢 I started working on my walking desk after a few months of knees rehabilitation and my (last) #diy #dactyl keyboard starts emitting random noise characters. I'll need to dedicate an afternoon for debugging and fixing it. (Also if anyone in Ljubljana would like to join for some keyboard hacking, let me know).

Anyway, here's my setup (I'll write a blogpost about it when I'll find some time).

Second half looks a fair bit better. Not perfect, but I'm not sure I can do better.

Now to add the controller.

Regardless I'm reasonably proud, and learned a lot.

Finished printing one side of my dactyl manuform and had to try the keycaps on for size 😻
Too bad I didn't order more in light blue. Well, maybe next time.

Now I gotta clean the print, apply the switches and start soldering - and find one and a half free days to print the other side ...

I've been lurking on Mastodon for a while and figured it's time to actually post an #introduction and start sharing my projects. I like writing software and to generally just #make stuff, like:

- my star projector that uses star catalog data to accurately project points of light.
- my #dactyl keyboard re-designed in #OpenSCAD and built from laser cut acrylic

And for the past couple of years my main side project has been creating a visual keymap editor for #zmk #mechanicalkeyboards

30 years ago #OTD the #Galileo spacecraft flew past the #asteroid #Ida on its way to Jupiter - and discovered its moon #Dactyl (recognized only the following February): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dactyl_(moon) - asteroid moons had been suspected from stellar occultations for years, but this was the first direct and obvious detection of one.
