Finished updated CAD, also started writing Github Repo. Hopefully I can ship my Sunday.

Decided to design my fume extractor around the Artic P12. I finished the CAD, but then realized i wanted a custom PCB to control RPM and stuff so i did that. I also have to redo the CAD now.

Added a 0.91 OLED to display what setting its on, finished the KMK firmware. Very straightforward and not to difficult. I’m pretty much done, just will add some update to my Github repo!

Finished CAD, making it very similar to many of the steno keyboards on the market. I also made a top part which i may or may not add. I also added more holes for M3 Screws

Yayy finished pcb!!! Onto CAD and firmware!!

Switched over to a keyboard matrix with a raspberry pi pico, also added low profile footprints.

Got most of the researching done, I think its just going to be 1 or 2 120mm fans connected to a switch. Maybe I will make it a bit more fancy but idk.

So confused with the firmware, its my first time using Arduino.IDE. Unfortunately the guide does not really go that in depth so I’m trying to learn from other people projects.

I decided to switch over the the ESP32S2 chip because it has more GPIO pins so I can add another layer of keys for various other functions. Its now going to be similar to the Polygot Keyboard. So it can write both in steno and QWERT.

Very simple case for my keyboard, it connects to the PCB with 5 m3 screws and heat set inserts, with some spacers in between. I made it simple so I can print it in fiberglass so it can really highlight how cool the PCB is.

Update: I figured out how to add the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 and then finished the PCB. Honestly more hard than usual, I had to rewire like 20 times and there were soo many errors. Anyways, I’m finished now! Onto CAD ig?

I’m making a stenography keyboard, basically a keyboard that can type really fast. I started researching and planning. Then I opened up Kicad and started my schematic. Pretty straightforward, but unfortunately I just realized I put the wrong footprint for the Raspberry Pi Pico (I put the chip rather than the whole board). So I might keep it and try to figure out how to make my own. Or just redo it. Wish me luck!

Finished CAD! I’m going to get started on the firmware with Arduino IDE.

Worked on GitHub Repo and started case for PCB. The CAD looks kinda bland so I wanna make it look better.

Finished the PCB! Pretty straight forward although I did have to rewire a few times and completely redo it because I realized it had to be less than 100x100. Overall pretty fun!

Finished the software! Actually really straight forward once you get the hang of it. Also fixed my GitHub Repo and I’m ready to ship!

Tried to start the firmware! Its so confusing I moved over to KMK, wish me luck!

Made some minor improvements to the PCB. Next I’m going to start the software and hopefully get it done by Sunday.

Finishing touches! Some improvements to the case, fixed some problems with the PCB and made my GitHub repo! Can’t wait to start building!

Finished the case for my hackpad, and added spots for screws and heat set inserts.
