Cool idea with the raised letters, numbers and symbols. I would've made them as wells and poured white resin in them (in order to get good contrast). I wonder if one could use UV curable printer resin and then stuck them into a UV curing box, cleaning them up afterwards with isopropyl alcohol as it's standard procedure with 3D printed parts, but more to avoid sanding as it would make the keycaps lose some of the transparency. Your projects are the best, Clem. Congrats.

I actually did backfill buttons with white resin. It eorked great but i 'd need to make the buttons thicker to remain travel distance, posted pics on twitter. It ended up on the cutting gloor gor this episode l. Thx

Skeuomorphic is the word for such characteristics Interestingly, it applies not only to physical characteristics like keyboard layouts and decorative buckles on straps now fastened by velcro, as well as auditory ones like the shutter sound on smartphone cameras. But further still to the gestures of swiping for next page evoking the action of turning pages in a book.

Nice build. For the LEDs it might be possible to use a voltage doubler IC to bring it up to 6.6v. I would do the current requirement calculations before designing the board though...
@MAYERMAKES Жыл бұрын
but then reading the pins i nthe matrix through the leds would not work without a level shifter on each pin. so it will be probably better t ojust oput in a second adressable matrix for light effects. my original intention was to get lights for free..but did not work out.
@justovision Жыл бұрын
@@MAYERMAKES I guess it depends on if you make sure you go through enough diode drops on each line before it's read? The levels could be controlled by the forward voltage of the LEDs you use.

maybe, but at that added complexity i´d juat rout a secondary light effects matrix.@@justovision

Can we build button for custom operation for an application like corel draw or photoshoot. If yes, than what is the process for it.

super easy just take this project and put the key code you need on a button. for example you could make layer four hold all the keayboard shortcuts in a more convenient cluster for PS or Corel so you can reach them al lwith one hand. its just a matter of putting your custom command in place of a character.

i do not use these programms , there are plenty good open source alternatives, you will just have to google the commands you need from the documentation of the software that you use. @@manojroy657 you just need to replace a key in the code with the key for whatever command you need. there is a code breakdown video on the element14 community (linked below the video) but you will need to learn at least abit about programming/how to flash code on a MCU to finish the project. so a bit of learning is involved.

Just a question how are you handling the problem of key ghosting and how many simultaneous key press can it register
@MAYERMAKES Жыл бұрын
since there is a diode on every single button and its read in a sequential matrix, you pretty much have n-key rollover. every press and release is transmitted seperatelly so any button put into the mix is just added to it.

Is it possible to have media control keys on this that work cross-platform, plug play, on mac, windows, linux and android? How to get started on implementing that on a bluetooth macro pad?
@clemensmayer91716 ай бұрын
if the media functions can be mapped to a keycode, then yes. if these keycodes than are directly recognised correctly by the target os then it would be plug and play. I expect Mac t obehave weird and maybe not have simple keycodes for these functions, linux is certainly possible.
