Face U/MX-mini U replica, acrylic/alu plate, KEEP ORDERING

[webwit]

1 × Face U replica
1 × Aluminium plate for Face U
1 × Acrylic plate for Face U

[Muirium]

Even the duck wants in!

please note that the plates are cherry stabs PCB mounted compatible ONLY!

where is the easiest place to source pcb mounted cherry stabs?

IMSTO has them as well as Mouser. Anyone know how many and what sizes you get for $10?

They are not the original one. AFAIK.

[LechnerDE]

I'd like to order these items:

2x Face U replica, support ISO €30
1x Acrylic plate (support ISO) for Face U, €7
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U, €19

Thanks for the GB Tinnie!

[iAmAhab]

Gotta get in on this.

1x Face U replica, support ISO, €30
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U, €19

[Findecanor]

Wait a minute... The microcontroller for the MX Mini U replica is an ATmega32u2 or ATmega32u4, right?
It is not some type of 8-bit AVR µC without hardware USB support like the ATmega32A ?
If the µC is one without built-in USB support, then I would like cancel my order.

[Muirium]

OP says atmega32, but you're right: Atmel says no USB on the base version:

We really need ATmega32U4, like in the Teensy 2:

Any pics of what the aluminum plate will look like?

Let me work a few things out before placing my order.

Thanks!

Thank you Muirium, i was trying to find them on Mouser, but i am not familiar enough with the part numbers to navigate it.

I believe it's an ATmega32A-AU but I can't say for sure...

[Findecanor]

OP says atmega32, but you're right: Atmel says no USB on the base version:

'
From what I have gathered searching quickly on the 'Net, the Face U and MX-mini U would run the ATmega32A-AU at 12MHz, with the PS2AVRU firmware. It is quite featured with layers and macros and can auto-sense to support both USB and PS/2. I see no dedicated counter/multiplexer or LED driver chip, so I suppose that the µC also drives the LEDs directly. That's a lot of things in firmware, and I don't think any of the firmwares for the ATmega32U4 can do all that.
However, this GB is not for the original FaceU or MX-miniU but for replicas with also support for ISO.

[matt3o]

it's called faceu replica because the schematics for that are freely available. I believe the seller simply added ISO compatibility looking at the facew. the controller is very likely the same, but I'll have tinnie ask for confirmation.

[spopepro]

I'd like:
1 faceU replica PCB
1 faceU Aluminum Plate
1 MX Mini U repblica PCB
1 MX Mini U acrylic Plate

[Xenderwind]

1x Face U replica
1x Aluminium plate (support ISO) for face U

Thanks

[macmakkara]

One FaceU + Alu plate here!

Updated my order to include alu plate ISO

E: Can we get pictures of the plates? So can start planing the case

[feizor]

Could you please post some pictures of the plates and cases?

Cheers!

[matt3o]

confirmed it's an atmega32a, so V-USB, meaning we are not that free to burn whatever we want on it. The are still very easy to burn but we would need a custom firmware.

[DanielT]

For me is Ok, I have a Windows VM that I use when I really need Windows, and my work laptop is also running Windows. So for me is more than Ok.
Let the invoice come

[mr_peck]

The aluminium plate for face u is ANSI compatible or just ISO ?

Is there a "normal"/easy way to reconfigure/reburn it, at least in Windows, with the default firmware?

[DanielT]

Yep, on Windows http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/
And https://github.com/showjean/ps2avrU

[Laser]

Aha, something like step 3 on this page? (using HIDBootFlash or other writer)

[CeeSA]

1x MX mini U replica
1x Acrylic plate for MX-MINI U
1x Acrylic case for MX-MINI U (if it is not too expensive...?)

thanks

*edit*

too late?

[Nuum]

1x Face U replica PCB
1x Aluminium plate for Face U, please.

[Madhias]

Yep, on Windows http://boot.winkeyless.kr/bootMapper/
And https://github.com/showjean/ps2avrU

The Flash bootMapper looks good or easy to handle.

[tinnie]

CeeSA: Never got too late.

Update: MX-mini u will be delayed for a week.

[matt3o]

To change the layout you just turn on the keyboard with Q pressed and burn the new firmware via USB. I'm pretty confident this will work with linux as well, but I can't tell for sure.
