#TIL I didn't know we could use a Pi as the microcontroller. I'd love to have a ... something inside the case, so I could have my very short cable headphones plugged in to my Keyboard along with USB hub and a card reader
I am also about to build my own redox keyboard and remodeled the 3D parts on my own because there where things I did not like. Now I am about to print the parts and was asking myself if you adjusted the infill for the printing process or did you go for 100% infill? Or can you recommend something here like printing the parts fully without infill?
Hi Hasan, I don't have the files saved but I'm guessing I'd have done it at 100% or fairly close. My cura profile has 6 top and bottom layers and the thickness of the flat bits is ~24 layers... so given it would only be 12 layers out of 24 it probably doesn't make too much difference 😄 That said, I don't get any noticeable flex while typing, I can see a little flex if I deliberately push down much harder than typing pressure.
@@CraigManning thanks a lot! 🙂 Now it's a little clearer that I should go the full print way. The flex issue was my concern but if you don't have a problem like that it's good to hear.
Hi, KMK works on circuitpython( github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware ), I have it working really well on this keyboard. It's nice and flexible I made some notes here: ruclips.net/video/i43lZPAkA2c/видео.html
I've seen people on etsy selling pre-built ones but you are looking at a good few hours of skilled work, so not cheap. If you have a maker space nearby there's likely someone who could help with the printing and soldering?
@@CraigManning Here where I live there's nothing, and yeah, you're right that hours are not cheap... Well, I could buy it and then try lucky with my soldering skills :'
Hi Reignand, I keep mean to put a nice picture somewhere but haven't yet. sachee.medium.com/building-my-first-keyboard-and-you-can-too-512c0f8a4c5f Sasha's pictures (about halfway down the page) are probably better than mine would be :) I put columns in one side of the pico and rows in the other just to help with debugging. Have fun with your build!
@@CraigManning Hi Craig, I noticed that the tutorial is using a promicro, I am going to use two pi picos, is there any difference in the wiring? thanks
@@pancreasnou Hi, it's mostly down to your firmware, I used KMK. I've not tried a proper split (I ran the row and column cables across) but there's a section here: github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/split_keyboards.md
@@CraigManning I saw your other video, thanks for the help, I got pico and I am playing around with kmk. I am struggling to understand the pinout combination for the switches, can you share you basic layout and gp combination? thank you
Excellent walkthrough! I'm printing my plates right now, for my first attempt at building a keyboard.
Cool, hope you have fun 👍 let us know how it goes!
Loved it! I wanted to change the layout a bit, so I was thinking about ordering a PCB, might try to do this instead!
Cool! What changes were you making?
Best video on ergo keyboards!
Wow, thanks! :D
Thank you, you shed some light on this project.
Glad it was helpful!
I made my first redox a few years ago, Yesterday i discovered there is a Multimedia version now... this is going to get expensive :D

I have seen some keyboard use trrs jack to connect the left and right part , can you maybe explain how to do that ?
I've not tried it but KMK docs have a section: github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/split_keyboards.md

how did u code this ?? im using a raspberry pi pico too but guides i see is for pro micro

@@CraigManning oh so i just follow the wiring guide and flash it noice thank you
I really want this keyboard... But I can't build it... If I could get it cheaper full assembly :/

I'm about to start on making one of my own! I have some questions, Do you have a diagram on how the columns and rows are wired? Thanks for the guide!

@@CraigManning so in the end you connect the rows to the other half and rout the row across to connect to the pico, effectively having a 5x14 grid?
"i wanted linear switches" so you took browns. got it xd
Amazons cheapest switches and my uncultured fingers. To me they feel pretty much linear 😂
