discipline VS basketweave

I will suggest that Baroque ornamentation was attached to things that were part of the function of the object, but you have hidden all the electronics that make your computer function inside its (yes, beautiful) case. Those electronics have an intricacy and a beauty all their own, even if their appearance is mostly dictated by function and cost. Maybe it's not what you're going for, but see for example the DISCIPLINE keyboard for an example of bringing the electronics to the forefront, and positioning them with attention to artistry and not only function.

There are other benefits: A PCB design can be shared so that others can fabricate it themselves. (Or modify it if they wish). A PCB design will likely have a schematic, too, which can be studied.

I'd also bet that PCB projects are more likely to inspire better PCB projects. -- Or at least, the domain I've tried my hand at has been PCBs for custom mechanical keyboards.

e.g. I've seen boards inspired by https://github.com/hsgw/plaid such as https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline or https://github.com/rtitmuss/torn and I think there are several popular split keyboard designs which basically descend from https://github.com/MakotoKurauchi/helix

All the files and instructions are in the designer's Github repositories, see https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/mysterium and https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline

Thank you! What do you want to know? The case is designed to fit a Discipline PCB, I designed a new PCB (and plate), which uses the same ATMega32a and a very similar circuit but redesigned from scratch to fit an ortholinear layout while still being compatible with the case. The big knob is set up with a smooth (ie no detent) encoder which complements the extra weight nicely (it spins well!). It's set up for scrolling at the moment but I'm going to add some different functions for different layers. The other two knobs control volume and undo/redo, and have a more usual detent decoder. Keycaps are DSA Historic... That's all I can think of!

Hey there, I have downloaded the file for the acrylic plate from github. https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline Somewhere there is the correct plate. But watch out, there are also top plates for a different acrylic case.

Open source on github

Hi everyone. This might be a noob question, but I'm confused on how to take the PCB files from github and put them into PCBShopper. For clarity, I'm just to look at getting a Basketweave PCB made. I'm just confused on how to put in all the values and I'm a little scared of getting it wrong.

I can recommend the basketweave https://github.com/null-ll/basketweave if you’re looking for something through-hole. There are places that make acrylic cases for it too.

PCB's like this keyboard comprise many layers. Say, if I want to move some keys by several millimetres, does KiCad provide to a way to do so for all layers at once, and maintain all the connections intact? Or do I have to modify all layers individually and manually making sure that the portion of all layers moved by the exact same amount?

In the PCB View, I opened an open-source keyboard file, and panning was very choppy. The GPU usage was very low (3%~4% in the 3D graph), and the CPU usage was only 2~3 threads were about 100% and other threads were idling (I have 12 CPU threads).

I'm announcing the group buy for R3 of the Basketweave keyboard kit! This is a through-hole kit with a rotary encoder. The layout is similar to Alice boards, but I've added an arrow cluster and a rotary encoder to the right side. I've made the board open source, but I'm running this group buy to make it more affordable. Soldering is required to build this kit.

I'm located in Canada - where would I purchase replacement parts below from this build?

these are the components, where would I source new parts (located in Canada)?

Hi r/mm! This is an interest check for the third round of the Basketweave. This board is made entirely from through-hole parts, similar to the Discipline65 and Plaid keyboards. The layout is similar to Alice boards, but with an arrow cluster and a rotary encoder on the right side. This board is entirely open source, but I am looking to run a small groupbuy to make it more affordable.
