      @@janekstolarski9163 There have been some projects that sensible a link between the computer and controller but I don’t believe it’s natively supported in QMK. Those projects also seemed complicated to set up.

      @@joe_scotto yeah that would be tough. Mostly because you need to get a controller that supports serial and build an app (python would work) on the pc to send the wanted data then you need to receive it on the controller with some custom code.

    awesome explanations, it would be nice to see how these implementations can be used together to make an animation which also has the layer and status indicators alongside it

    Yooo so I was having a problem where the oled screen was skipping every other line, but turns out in my config.h, I had put "OLED_DISPLAY_128x64" instead of "OLED_DISPLAY_128X64". You need to note the capital X!! Cuz in 1:05 you have lowercase x

    hi, my keyboard folder does not have a config.h file, so i #define OLED_DISPLAY_128x64 on both keymap.c and oled_driver.h (but there is still blanks in between each line, assuming its still set as 128x32)

    Have you tried using the same 4-pin display on ZMK firmware? May have to work with a bit of Zephyr it seems?
    So far could only get ZMK-built-in nice views to work. QMK seems more straight forward.

    What are the chances you could do a video on an intro to 3d printing? Your videos are really motivating me to make a handwired board, but I’m a bit overwhelmed at the options for 3d printers. Love your stuff man, can’t wait to watch the next one!

    • @joe_scotto
      @joe_scotto  Рік тому +4

      I don't know if I would do a dedicated 3D printing intro but I will say that picking up an Ender-3 and going from there would be my recommendation. The beauty about that printer in particular is it's built fairly well and has room to upgrade as you learn more. It's also the printer I use for all my boards.

      TS100 BY FAR! I think it runs like $70 but you can power it off a battery or wall power. It has great features such as temperature control, sleep mode, auto off, etc.I would recommend getting the chisel tip as well, I think it’s the D24 but not certain.

    Oh man, I started gathering information to make a handwired board a few months ago and u made a video for it about that time. Now im building software for it and u release a related video. What a coincidence! I also wanted to ask, in your video about board with VGA cable u said that some of the wires connected internally, I want to make a Redox-like board on a single Raspberry Pi pico and connect both halves with hdmi cable, any chance u know about internal connection in hdmi? I couldnt find anything mentioning it, thanks in advance

    • @joe_scotto
      @joe_scotto  Рік тому

      I started trying to make a split that used USB-C and the available pins were complicated and not enough. There also was the fact that same spec cables were made differently. I suspect HDMI would be similar but the best way to find out is buying a “breakout” board and probing the pins with a multimeter set to continuity mode.
