Finishes on Norbaforces vary. They were designed for USB mini cables so it is possible a USB-C cable end may not fit depending a finish (I want to say this happened in 2 out of 8 cases). For those cases a very light filing of the USB opening using a hobby file can enlarge the opening just enough for the cable. To get an idea of how compatible a case is take the existing daughterboard out and see if a USB-C cable end will fit in. (It will be tight but if it fits and there is a little wiggle room your should be all set)
Thanks to @insolentpotato for driving this project which took a few different variations to get it just right. @techbeezin for testing and @Cipulot for advice and listening to a lot of back and forth.
For Novatouch we’re getting there. Pcb shape looks good test fitting paper mockups for clearance over the last couple of days. Will put that in a separate post and repo when it is ready.
No. You do not want to do that through a daughter board for this model. It acts funky, some people tried embedding hasu usb to usb internally (can’t remember what the funkiness was)
Cipulot has an RealForce R1 replacement pcb for amk, via, vial.
QMK firmware is recommended - Enter DFU mode without having access to the physical rest switch with command keycode enable. (Although, there is a known issue of this port regarding not registering the board after computer reboot.)
Not sure if anyone is working on that port/registration issue, however would be happy to see something like that if someone else takes up the reins. For now +1 to the Cipulot R1 pcb for onboard programmability.
