    Looks great,
    You should put two 5.1k resistors to ground from each of the CC pins on the USB C breakout, this will let you use more cables as it will better conform to USB spec.
    You may find without them that many C to C cables just won't work

    My absolute favorite thing about this design is that it doesn't leave a small blank space next to the arrow keys. Why do all these 65 and 75 keyboards leave that little space? Condense everything to the right of the space bar, and put a third key between space and the arrow keys! I also love that it has all of the keys on the right side filled and that the arrow keys are aligned with the bottom and right rows. Why do people like the arrow keys separated? It looks so messy to me. Only thing missing is a knob!

      Sliced in Cura with the standard settings of .2mm layer height, 20% infill density and 2 layer wall thickness, the 7 pieces total 202g (67.38m) of filament. You can change the sound of the keyboard by printing with more infill or thicker walls.

    Hey man!! Ive been working on mine and a Problem came up... since de botton part has the recesses for the switches and for the stabilizers Im assuming I should print this face down, but than my printing resolution became very poor to the point where I had to file each hole, tldr the fitting and aliagment are terrible... any tips?

    • @MadModLabs
      @MadModLabs  Рік тому +1

      You are correct printing the plate face down. The first layer squish on your printer is causing the tolerance of the switch cutouts to be tighter than expected. I have had the exact same problem before! I solved this by changing my printer's z-offset so the first layer is not so spread out. If the change affects your bed adhesion, I have used hairspray on the print bed to keep the plate from warping.

      It could be the tolerance of the 3D printed plate. I would recommend taking a file or a small blade and making the stabilizer cutout slightly wider. This will allow the stabilizer to slide a little to the left or right and light with the spacebar stems.

    What is the best way to troubleshoot a handwired board is a switch doesn't work or if there are issues? How can you find a short in any of the wiring?

    • @MadModLabs
      @MadModLabs  Рік тому

      Is one switch not working or is an entire row or column not working? If one switch is not working, check the solder points on both of the switch pins and the attached diode. Also, The individual switch may be damaged. You can test it with a multimeter or swap it out for a working switch. If you have an entire row or column that is not working, you should check the solder points on each wire that attaches to your microcontroller. While looking for shorts, check the pins on the micro controller and make sure the board is not pushing against the matrix wires. Place something between them like a piece of tape. Also make sure your wire's insulation has not melted in an unexpected area. The column wires can not touch the row wires. Beyond these scenarios, incorrectly configured firmware could cause a switch to appear defective.
      Hope this helps!

    does it matter if the top or the bottom pin is used for the resister soldering?

    • @MadModLabs
      @MadModLabs  2 роки тому

      It does not matter which pin you solder to the diode. However, each switch must have one pin soldered to the row and one pin soldered to the column. It is also important that all the diodes face the same direction.
      You can not use the KBD67/rev1 firmware for this project. QMK works on the Teensy 2.0 but you will need to compile your own firmware or use the firmware included with the project files.

This will make the port compliant with USB-C standards and allow more cables to work. I had to do that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/iv__343ZwE0/v-deo.html
