Not to my knowledge. I think he lost interest after massdrop released theirs.

Lol, webwit, you pissed them off by being rude . I don't really hold it against you though, personally, since (as you've mentioned before) you are very consistent about allowing others the same freedom of expression.

Just wanted to say "Thanks" to all of the people responsible for this remarkable project, esp. Dox, Bpiphany and IC07. I don't know if you guys are getting anything from Massdrop, but if you have a donation method, let us know. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to make sure you are ...

Welcome to DT :)

The pictures of the kits are slightly misleading in that respect. Actually, the PCB design (and default firmware) only supports 3 LEDs (on the right hand side). There was someone (on geekhack; I forget if he posted here) who modded 3 LEDs into the left hand side. And there are a ...

It's on my list :) - but macro recording is taking *forever* o_o . And I've become paranoid of making promises about features till I've already implemented them, lol.

That on the other hand is a feature which should be implemented in Hasu's firmware. Does the yours support media keys or mx lock ...

PS2 is even less supported... lol. Our chip doesn't have hardware support for it, so we'd have to bit-bang the protocol over separate pins and tie those to the USB pins... non-trivial (and possibly messy) firmware extension, irritating hardware mod... :/

And I think I remember them saying that the quote they got for aluminum cases on the second run was about twice as high as the first, lol.

Massdrop was selling kits for $200 (+ shipping and import taxes, if outside the US), once their minimum number of orders was met; though price could vary if you ...

Assembly might be convenient... If you're worried that it's out of your league though, you probably shouldn't be... :) . The prototype I built was my first soldering project ever. My Dad watched and warned me when I was doing something wrong (and took care of soldering the tiny little USB connector ...

The second round at Massdrop just closed. You can click the request button on the right (after you sign up for the site) to be reminded when they do another run. Judging by the first cycle, they'll probably plan one once it gets up to ~300 requests. On the first run, there was someone offering ...

No. It's currently 6 keys + 8 modifiers. But it may in the future, not sure yet.

I thought that was usually an option in the BIOS, though there might be (platform specific) ways to do it in the OS. Sorry I can't be more specific, I haven't had to do it in years...

With the Massdrop generated layouts, they chose to separate the "numpad layer" key and the "numlock" key. As with a regular number pad, if you use it with numlock off it will perform those alternate functions (which are actually the primary functions of the keys if you think about it, though that ...

The short answer is no. The long answer would probably include a discussion on why (with regards to the USB spec), and how, if you're willing to code a bit of C and put up with some inconveniences, you kind of can... a little...

(The current best idea I've heard on how involves platform specific ...

Ergodox won't wake up my pc while hibernating

This bugs me too... and it should be fixable. Just haven't had time to do it yet. I'll add an issue on github so I don't forget to at least check it out :) .

Teensy Button for programming does not work for me

Could I modify the firmware to bind a key on a layer to a macro?

The only (completely inadequate) thing I've written so far about macros is the @bisl part of this post over on GH - which probably doesn't mean anything to anyone not already familiar with how the firmware works. I plan to write ...

Check out the "Acrylic Case Designed by Litster" http://www.ergodox.org/Downloads.aspx

Interesting, thanks for the correction. I intend to go with a different physical matrix (either 10x8 or 5x16), drop I2C and the port expander and just connect it with a piece of (centronix) parallel port cable (directly soldered - no connectors).
I'm also thinking about basing it on this FW: http ...

... (and has 4 more keys to fill in the whole matrix 10x8) ...

To be technically accurate, the matrix (in the firmware) is really 6x14 (= 84 positions) -- but the layout code is only set up to use 80 (see this for which positions are missing).

I'd have to double check (just to be completely sure ...

@sordna: lol. np, glad you got it working

Ahhh... when you put those commands after kb_init(), it makes the pins alternate between drive-low and hi-z - so the things you're driving would have to have their other pin connected to Vcc. I feel like this is safer, in general - but since it looks from your picture like you have stuff pretty much ...

I'm pretty sure it's because both D4 and D5 are initialized as inputs with internal pull up on, in .../controller/teensy-2-0.c, and it looks like your code doesn't reinitialize them. Take a look at this file (in the same directory). Probably what you want to do, is somewhere in your custome main ...

BTW the switches with integrated diodes work great with your MCP23018__DRIVE_ROWS/MCP23018__DRIVE_COLUMNS options !!!

Good to hear :) thanks!

Say, how do you momentarily access Layer 0 from another layer? I'm using the MD layer generator by the way.
When I'm in Layer 0 I can momentarily access ...

Oh ya... they missed that. And it's an easy thing to miss, unless you're probing around with a multimeter coz you don't know what's going on and you end up asking bpiphany about it (like I did, lol).

That bridge connects the capacitor pin closest to it with GND (the other pin is connected to Vcc ...

The PCB files were never there. I have to ask bpiphany for the latest version and I will add the link.

Dunno if you have it already, but here's the post where litster put his case design files up - in case you were planning to add those too.

I mocked up the dvorak layout I posted several months ...

They're a startup in the Silicon Valley (San Francisco) area, founded by Nelson Wu and Steve El-Hage (reference: this slightly related article).

I get that impression too... lol, I think it's pretty cool.

Me too... lol.

Fingerworks isn't a subsidiary of apple. They were bought for the patents and are long dead. This is about the gesture technology currently used on iphones and ipads.

O ya, I remember... But I still hope they'll do something with the touch ...

Since fingerworks is a subsidary of apple. Probably the future of their keyboards would be geared towards touch tactile.

I hope so! Be cool to see what they come up with, if they ever do, even if I do have to wait a while before getting one... :-)

Agreed tactile feedbacks is of an importance ...

+1 to the vote to take the arguments to another thread. Please guys. I'm about ready to unfollow the thread too. Or suggest that it be archived...
