klepcbgen VS dumbpad

As an alternative, you can use a kicad project generator like the one I made : https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

If you want to create a mechanical keyboard PCB, there are several dedicated tools for that, including one I made: https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

then use https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen this guide to put it into kicad. the guide is kinda flawed because to make the pcb it used parts that are no longer available but i figured out how to hook up all the switches to a pro micro so its a lot easier and you can actually get the parts.

ok so you make a keyboard layout with this: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/ and download the json file and then you follow the steps here https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen and copy paste the codes into command prompt and you get a pcb with you specific layout and all you need to do is connect the traces. but the problem is that there are components that are used and i but not listed so i can make a BOM file so the board can be printed. every time i try to open the schematic view it says there was an error and i don't know what i should do to fix it or even if i can.

Here area some resources: https://makeakeyboard.com/ https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen https://github.com/BathroomEpiphanies/KiCAD-Keyboard-Tutorial https://wiki.ai03.com/books/pcb-design/page/list-of-kicad-keyboard-parts-libraries

I kinda cheated, theres a tool that takes KLE files and automatically generates a pcb design for them. You still have to connect everything, but it does all the tedious layout for you. Heres the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen

A custom PCB by u/bigbrobewatching (pics). What's more interesting though, is the workflow: KLE, KLE PCB generator I wasn't aware of & the firmware builder by Ruiqi Mao.

Here’s the github https://github.com/jeroen94704/klepcbgen Basically you import a json from kle and then it spits out a mostly finished kicad file, so it pretty much takes all the tedious work out of it. You still have to route all the traces but it’s pretty great

Bro. I'm in Gent and I recently bought stuff to build 10x dumbpad RGB.

I have been documenting my process where I build a dumbpad, an open-source project created by imchipwood

Some of you may already know the dumbpad created by imchipwood ( https://github.com/imchipwood/dumbpad) which is a 4x4 Macropad with an encoder. I took the liberty to create a new version of the pad that adds hotswap Sockets and per key RGB to the original design.

Hello, I'm selling 3 leftover dumbpad v.1.1 after I built 2 for me and my wife.

Dumbpad repo: https://github.com/imchipwood/dumbpad Here you can see all the required information to build the pad. You can install one or two rotary encoders, we include two.

i made dumbpad; It's 4x4 with encoder on the side . On /r/olkb and /r/MechanicalKeyboards, you can search for marco pad for 3x3, 3x4, and so on that supports encoder.

Hi, I've got a dumbpad macropad available - see this post for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/mechmarket/comments/ltpd93/service_build_service_with_instock_parts_for/ I've also got a range of switches for trying, I haven't had time to update this list lately, but it might give you a rough idea: https://www.reddit.com/user/hectoring/comments/ivppks/switches_available_for_testing/
