Ergodox arrived. Yikes!
  • 26 WPM on first day is pretty solid.

    I dropped from 70 to 15 when starting with an Ergodox and it took me about 10 days to get back to 60+

    (And then I decided to switch to Colemak layout which is much harder than Row stagger -> column stagger I’d say)

    Underglow in ZMK on Seeedstudio Xiao BLE not working
  • See my other response for how I am driving the LEDs :) (Works fine with an Arduino program so that is not the issue here)

    It seems to me that I get this line wrong: NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MOSI, 0, 16). I would read this as "Set pin P0.16 as SPI MOSI", however I cannot find a pin P0.16 exposed on the Xiao BLE https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/XIAO_BLE/

    Can you give me a pointer where I am wrong?

    (my RGB pin is P1.11 / D6, so I would've assumed that I should change this to NRF_PSEL(SPIM_MOSI, 1, 11), I know that the use of low frequency pins is discouraged by ZMK docs)

    Underglow in ZMK on Seeedstudio Xiao BLE not working
  • I am using this trick to convert the logic input to 5V, so that should work. Super hacky, but as far as I checked, every piece of this hack is entirely in spec for the components used.

    I'll check with a simple Arduino program first I guess

    UPDATE: Arduino program works, so it is not a hardware issue (lucky me)

  • Hey all.

    I am currently prototyping a keyboard with the Seeedstudio Xiao BLE (nrf52840). I configured the shield config correctly & got it working. However, my RGB won’t turn on (followed the ZMK documentation on RGB underglow)

    Does anybody have a pointer to a project that got RGB working with Seeedstudio Xiao BLE & RGB?

    something similar to zsa moonlander but from eu region?
  • It was pushed back to September but there might be an additional delay. Check out Dygma‘s YouTube channel, they are pretty transparent about updates on their process.

  • As others pointed out, the Dygma Defy might be an option when it’s finally available: https://dygma.com/products/dygma-defy

    Alternatively, you could look for used ones, but this has the Return (and the parts) issue as well.

    I suspect there will be other people like me who probably sell their Moonlander when the Defy is available.

    Kailh choc switch review (and trampolining discussion)
  • I assume the Brown V2 are nothing like the V1 then. (Because those just lack a well-defined tactile bump). Might be worth trying them then.

    New 30-key sculpted design, WIP
  • yay, two pinky gang!

    Personally I prefer still having 3 keys on the inner index column as I find it easier to hit inner column keys if they are part of one of the rows (and I only use the homerow pinky + don't like chords, so having 3 inner column keys per half is preferable to me).

    Naming wise, you could always go for silly portmanteaus like "scoolp" (scoop + sculpted) or "scoob / scooboard" (scoop + keeb / keyboard) ;)
