steno VS qmkbuilder

What I've experimented in the past (none of these lasted very long for me, but hopefully inspirations for you): - stenophone: back front - fistion: back front - clawor - musk (it feels okay pseudo typing on it in a jacket's pocket)

The one feature I’m looking forward to is having the dictionary built in. The Black Pill used here supports adding memory chip; I just need to buy one and figure out how to flash crides/steno firmware on it.

I haven't actually posted to Reddit for a while (other than comments that is), and I thought I should. I've been daily driving these 2 boards for a bit, the Fissure v3.2 and the Fusion. Both boards are fully BLE, and of course following my tradition on using the embedded steno engine.

Simple (and buggy) steno engine on my keyboard

You can actually run the code needed for steno completely in firmware. Check out https://github.com/crides/steno.

Fwiw, that’s a thing, though it’s still in progress. (This says QMK, but there’s def also ZMK work somewhere in there as well.)

I'm working on a project at the moment, basically sticking a raspberry pi into the case of an old 200LX palmtop computer that broke on me. The start of this project is to adapt the old keyboard so that it can be used as a standard USB keyboard. I used an old Teensy 2.0 microcontroller and kbfirmware.com (very old i know) to so this, along with a custom interposer PCB to adapt the very weird pad spacing on the keyboard connector to the Teensy.

I have created the firmware here

In general you search the qmk repo for your mcu, then pick similar keyboard to your own, then hand edit the layout.h file and keymap.c. a macropad should be easy to figure out. for complex layouts such as a fullsize you could use a broken code generator such as https://kbfirmware.com/

Idk man, I binge watched more hours of keyboard content, than I'd ever like to admit with how little I've done with that. I guess, I get obsessive easily.Check out Joe Scotto for amazingly clean and tidy handwired boards, Ben Vallack for insane minimalistic crazy designs and layout content.There's Keyboard Layout Editor that works nicely with plate generator and QMK firmware generator so there's one workflow. Also check out ergogen, it's amazing, although I didn't learn KiCAD yet, so never used it to create anything more than a quick visualisation. There's lots of great materials on how keyboards are build and how they work. QMK docs have very insightful handwiring guide.

This is Stardust, named after my dog Ziggy. It's a 41 Key Ortho. My goal with this keyboard was to be able to see if I could fully realize it without ordering anything besides switches. I used an old blank ABS keycap set, some stabs I had laying around, and a Elite C controller. Then I 3D printed the case, and added M2 bolts and threaded inserts to hold it together. I ordered Kiwi switches and designed everything myself using Keyboard Layout Editor, ai03 Plate Generator, KBFirmware and Fusion 360. It was printed on an Ender 3.

I tried to wire everything up in rows and columns and followed that through kbfirmware.com

I used this site https://kbfirmware.com. I’ll have to check the idea with the reset pin. Thanks. But I thought the MCU resets if the pin is connected to ground.

I didn't actually write the code, it was a hardwire I designed. I used kbfirmware.com, all I have is a file.

All the firm ware was created using keyboard-layout-editor.com And https://kbfirmware.com/
