deskthority

thank you for asking all that beltet, and to GhostofHarry for clarifying. this will be my first attempt at soldering anything and its a relief to know the IC is already done.

yes, diodes are presoldered, and should have NKRO (to be confirmed, i am not extremely sure)

and yes, you can solder the LED by yourself, and LED choices are provided in the GB
no sure what u are asking about but how i got your questions correctly

The controller has a pre-made firmware, and has a simple GUI that guides you easily to your designated layout. Further details will be given in the groupbuy post

the IC is pre-soldered, what you need to solder are switches and LED

hope this could answer your questions

Thx!
That was exactly what I was asking for.
Switches I already have and soldering wouldn't be a problem. Looking forward to this GB.

One more thing. Is the firmware open source? is there a possibility that you can post it here or link to it so that we maybe can tinker with it before buying the keyboard? With a teensy for example?

i will ask about this
this is a good idea!

just asked the firmware writer kairyu from china, all his fireware are open source
you can find them below

firmware for the keyboard
https://github.com/kairyu/tmk_keyboard_ ... redscarfII

GUI of the system
source code: https://github.com/kairyu/tkg

website to design ur keymap : http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com
** for you to design your layout, save you layout to get the link or use the raw data below

website to generate eep: http://www.enjoyclick.org/tkg/#
**simply copy your saved link or raw data of your layout and copy to this website and u can get your eep file



i am a total noob to these program stuff
but kai reminds me to thank hasu, writer of tmk
who have provide the structure of open source tmk for kai to add some additional functions to it!
THX!

Wow! Great! Thats awesome! You are a fast replier, and get the work done! Feels much comfortable to buy from you in the future.
Will try to get it on a teensy connected to breadboard with switches and test it out. If I can find the time .

Any updates?

Hate to sound like a broken record, but are there any updates?

Push!!

That sounds great!

Is this still happening?

I think GhostOfHarry don't want to have two GB's at the same time. He is still shipping the first round of cheap Thaihao caps. And seen IC's of a Round 2. Maybe he's gathering experience for a more complex GB like this one.
That's good for all in my opinion. But take this with a grain of salt. This is my thoughts only. Nothing confirmed.

Either way, looks like IvanIvanovich is running a GB for the Red Scarf III, but idk if hes bringing it over here. I saw the thread on GH.

That's Red Scarf III, not II. Red Scarf II has a 60% with numpad. Red Scarf III is a 75% with extra three columns.

BTW, IvanIvanovic's GB is US only... which is sad because there are a bunch of people who want 75% keyboards with support for ISO.

I just figured you guys wouldn't want to pay the fortune for shipping from China to USA to... which would be kind of dumb. Also they only giving me a few days to collect order since they are almost ready to go to production. Probably better off to just go through a TaoBao agent on your own really cost wise.

IK its not the exact same, but i figured the same people might still be interested in the RSIII.

I am still very keen on a RSII either way.
