scottokeebs VS zmk

Take a look at https://scottokeebs.com, he has a lot of open source designs that involve hand-soldering so no PCB required. Just 3d print a case top and bottom, add switches, diodes, wire, ucontroller, cheap blank keycaps, and some soldering work. With bulk purchases it might be below the €30 threshold (filament might push you over budget?)

I teased this build months ago and finally am getting ready to build it, I’m calling it the “ScottoWing”. It will have both 3x5 and 3x6 layouts as an option along with various different styles for the plates. All files will be available for free once I upload the build video on my YouTube channel.

Anyway, when I share my boards, I like to share a few things: 1. I make videos on these boards along with tons of things related to them such as QMK, handwiring, PCBs, etc. 2. All the handwired boards I design are released completely for free. 3. You can keep up to date on the project or support me at scottokeebs.com.

All my handwired boards are released open-sourced and for free but if you don't have a 3D printer, you can support the project by buying a case from my shop. I like to think that my cases are priced pretty competitively with print-on-demand services and I make sure they are printed with the proper tolerances before shipping.

I have this KLE JSON that I made for a split board, it renders as the following on KLE:

I'm pretty hyped this is finally built. Following /u/JoeScotto's instructions at https://github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs/tree/main/ScottoFly and https://www.youtube.com/@joe_scotto made it way easier! I highly recommend checking his resources out for build and handwiring instructions.

All of my boards in my ScottoKeebs project avoid homerow mods. I put mods on the thumb cluster, shift on Z and ?, and various tap dance functions to get full functionality.

It actually has all the keys of a regular keyboard: https://github.com/joe-scotto/scottokeebs/blob/main/ScottoFrog/Firmware/single-handed.jpg

Anyway, as usual when I share my boards, I like to share a few things: 1. I make videos on these boards and have one planned for this one eventually. 2. All the boards I design are released completely for free. 3. You can keep up to date on the project at scottokeebs.com

I saw this same question was posted half a year ago and was wondering if anyone knew of any updates. Looks like this development branch of ZMK is stalled.

Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.

if you built the firmware using the corne shield that might be the issue. the splitkb aurora corne has a different pinout.

Depending on a controller you will be programming features of your keyboard using QMK or ZMK (there are alternatives but these two are the most popular). You can check documentation of these tools regarding display but some nice sum up is in the related article on splitkb: https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010533820-What-can-you-use-an-OLED-display-for-

corne-ish zen, the group buy is long over but there is an extras round coming up. I suggest going on the discord if you're interested in knowing when they'll be available for sale. it is a prebuilt so you can just buy it whole and have it ready to use out of the box and runs on ZMK.

I would be pretty interested in a wireless Ploopy. Especially if it runs ZMK since that is what I currently use for a split keyboard. It would be pretty awesome to link the macros and layers between my keyboard and mouse if the mouse could be a second peripheral "half" of the keyboard. Admittedly, ZMK's mouse support is still kinda beta, but the wireless support is amazing.

The other firmware I wrote for my wireless programable keyboard based on ZMK.

The code to enable the second encoder is outlined in this Pull Request https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/pull/728, but since it's not in the main ZMK codebase, to use this feature you need to roll your own ZMK with this PR included. And luckily there is already a kind person who did this in https://github.com/narze/zmk/pull/2

Try the Kinesis Advantage Pro because you can customize with ZMK. If you have DIY skills and want to customize event further. There's the open source version. Spit keyboards with QMK are good too.

Wired split is not supported by ZMK yet. See https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/issues/1110
