Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4 - Lemmy.world

Howdy Lemmy! 👋 Earlier this year I wrote a series of blog posts about the Ergogen keyboard layout generator. It’s a great tool for quickly prototyping new keyboard layouts. If you’ve ever been curious about what’s involved with developing a mechanical keyboard from scratch, these posts can hopefully give you an idea of what you’re in for. The series covers: - An overview of Ergogen itself. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-introduction/] - Defining the layout of your keyboard. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-part1-units-points/] - Outlining the shape of your board. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-part2-outlines/] - Populating your PCB with footprints and defining nets. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-part3-pcbs/] - Adding external footprints and designing a basic 3D printed case. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-part4-footprints-cases/] - KiCAD routing basics, and resources for firmwares and assembly. [https://flatfootfox.com/ergogen-part5-kicad-firmware-assembly/] I hope y’all don’t mind the Reddit repost! It’s nice to see the community take off here on the Fediverse!
