60% unicomp - insight requested
Posted: 18 Jun 2016, 03:10
Hey all,
I posted this over on geek hack as well but wanted to see if maybe some people here had input too: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82877.0
I found Hasu's converter: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69169.0 So if I'm understanding that right, I should be able to use that for a 60% can make the menu into a FN key to go to the other layers. So really I'm looking for any help with the traces or even if someone knows of a place that will do custom membranes for a decent price.
EDIT 2: Finished the traces and brought up another question, is it possible just to solder to the membrane trace? Seems like the easiest solution is to cut it, expose the trace and try soldering a wire to it then holding it in place. This would allow for flexibility to move the PCB under the plate with little to no issue.
EDIT 3: I'm just going to post my progress as I have it here rather than starting a whole new thread. I should be getting my copper tape and a few other goodies in a couple of days. At that point I will hopefully have a working 60% minus the case and converter from Hasu which is on order. ^.^ Once that happens I'll post some images of the current status of the build and such.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated
