Do you mean the soup? PHØ is just an acronym of my real Name
Yup the soup lol
Also, what’s your favorite keyboard so far?
Welcome! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions
I don´t have much experience with mechanical keyboards. I want to build my own keyboard from the scratch since a long time. Not long ago I met an old friend and talk with him about mechanical keyboards an he have his own diy keyboard! I played around with the keyboard and I was lost
Now I need more informations about keyboards, switches, caps to start building my own.
btw this was the keyboard:
you can be sure of that. I have many questions
Glad to have ya around here! Hopefully you learn a lot.
Thanks. I think I will
Hi,
Welcome to the hobby with the most rabbit-holes in one hobby.
So here are a few (hopefully helpful) links for you (and of course also others ):
If you intend to design your own PCB, you might be interested in the following two guides. I though haven’t tried them yet, they’re just in my bookmarks in case I want to do this myself sometime in the future, so no guarantees.
Oh, and of course QMK, the most popular free firmware for keyboards, especially handwired ones.
… already fell in the first ones and see a lot more incoming
Thanks for the pretty cool links
Just saw your tag-line »debian-nerd / code-lover / vim-fan / keyboard-enthusiast« in the profile.
Another Debian guy (actually even a Debian Developer ) here. Emacs user, though. Wrote my diploma thesis in LISP, so Emacs was obligatory.
From your Mastodon profile I gather you’re in the Stuttgart area. Wanted to visit the Shackspace at some point in the future. Might be a chance for a real-life meeting.
Oh ok sounds like so much more knowledge than i have nice to meet a debian-dev.
Yes i live “near” stuttgart and know the shackspace but was never there since i live here. Maybe someday i found the time to visit shackspace - pretty busy with family and stuff
Okay, Vim vs emacs fight!
no editor wars here
Sublime best editor
Well that escalated quickly
You’re tempting me to start also the Open Source vs Closed Source software war.
Cool. I am also trying to learn all the neccessary topics regarding building a mechanical keyboard. Below are some links which I found useful. It might or might not be useful for you (I have a degree in Material Science and Engineering but these resources was very helpful).
How to read a schematic
Logic levels
About the keyboard matrix
Hi,
oh great sources - sparkfun !
i used this: QMK Firmware
and it helps a lot. Your sources bring a lot of background knowledge.
thanks for that!
Just bookmarked it. Thanks
