• new day; no school!

• wanted to fully figure out the firmware aspect

• found the NKRO layout for https://nolltronics.com/product/picosteno/

  • NKRO is basically a setting you can change on your QWERTY keyboard to actually register all the keys you press at the same time

• basically, ill code firmware w/ regular QMK/KMK and itll be normal keyboard firmware.

• user runs Plover software on their computer

• Plover converts each regular key press to steno

• this way, I can have the OLED + rotary encoders be super easy to code up

• i removed the labels from the front + back silkscreen to make it look better / cleaner

• ill do only firmware today

• i created the keymap:

column 1: Q W E R T Y U I Y P [
column 2: A S D F T O J K L ; ’
column 3: 2 C V [mute/unmute] [video on/off] N M 8 ’

• this looks super simple but it isn’t bc i messed up in schematic / placement and some of the keys were swapped around; instead of rerouting, imo fixing it in firmware is better and faster and thats what I did
• wait nvm i messed up; this should be good:

column 1: Q W E R T Y U I Y P
column 2: A S D F T O J K L ;
column 3: 2 C V [mute/unmute] [video on/off] N M 8 ’ [

• im creating firware w help of Claude (pretty hard to do firmware w/o parts)
