banime40 VS miryoku_qmk

Excellent taste. My keymap is my own homebrew layout that's suitable for casual use and programming, which I have humbly given the name of TypeBeastXDPlus Home Edition. The one in the top left is one of my first projects: the gasket mounted banime40

The switches are held with a middle plate that is sized to the mx switches and fits it in. You can see that here https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40/tree/master/case/stl . Click on the plate

The creator of the board has much better pictures than I do here: https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40

Wanted a 4x10 keyboard and stumbled upon the Banime40(https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40) made by u/sporewoh. I am used to having a keyboard that is basically just keys, switches and a PCB so I skipped 3D printing the case and this is the result.

the 40% is a banime40 an open sourced board https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40 . The creator had spare parts and i managed to snag components and a printed case from him. huge shoutouts to u/sporewoh , who has created a ton of designs, like his latest modular magnetic macropad was trending here.

I have a banime40 with this USB-C Pro Micro from keeb.io. I'm using QMK Toolbox 0.2.2. It connects, flashes, then disconnects

It’s free and open source here! https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40. I’m not planning to sell them as kits yet, though I may be able to in the foreseeable future. All updates with be open sourced though

I understand I would need to program it using KMK, but I just wanted to make sure I can use the Pi Pico as a replacement for the Pro Micro in the banime40, the board I want to order.

gotta download the entire repo in my experience, on the main page https://github.com/ChrisChrisLoLo/banime40 click the green code button and download zip

3D printed one I made! There's some details in my repository if you're interested

From what I understand this is enabled by default in Miryoku? Looking at this file: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/blob/miryoku/users/manna-harbour_miryoku/config.h

The qmk firmware is definitely what you want

Piantor is supported by Miryoku QMK in QMK master, so you can build it directly from there. However community layout support is missing in the older version of piantor in the miryoku branch, and the workflow merge feature is currently broken, so I can't run a workflow build at the moment, but here's one from earlier: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/3943408991

Here's a build run for crkbd on pro-micro with default options: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/4591161307. The artifact is here: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/suites/11977156021/artifacts/628488034.

Crowboard is supported in Miryoku KMK. Support will be added to Miryoku QMK on request. Via / Vial is not supported by Miryoku QMK but you should be able to enable it manually. Colemak Mod-DH is the default alpha arrangement for all Miryoku implementations.

You would need to read the part about substitution of layer here. You would need to copy your base layer from the miryoku_layers_alternatives.h and just change the button codes in the homerow and on the thumb keys. Should be pretty easily done.

Here's a default build for Corne. Flash that to both sides with QMK Toolbox. It'll start on Base which is Colemak Mod-DH by default. Hold the right hand home thumb and double tap the right hand top row middle finger key. That will switch to Extra, which is QWERTY by default. The double tap needs to be quite fast (within 200ms by default). You can use any thumb on either hand, so long as the double tap is on the same hand as the thumb hold.

My layout is essentially a slightly modified version of the already established Miryoku layout. My thumb key dual functions are unchanged from his layout. Since it is QMK/ZMK, anything configuration is possible so if you want to change which key activated which kayer, it can be changed. For me, I like the default becuase space/nav and backspace/num is really natural for me. One of my next build is gonna be a Ferris so I'm gonna move some things around but as long as my space and backspace keys are where my thumbs naturally rest, it should hw fine.
