PCB files and litster case files added to http://ergodox.org/Downloads.aspx

The PCB files were never there. I have to ask bpiphany for the latest version and I will add the link.

Seriously, close the thread. I'm done.

Dox, just curious since you've had your prototype going for a while, how is the Shapeways printed case doing?

The shapeways cases are holding fine! I use them everyday and couldn't be happier.

I'm done here. There is a lot of things that I want to do and arguing on the internet won't get me ...

and the phantom....
I'm getting sick of all the whining about massdrop and such by people that never offered to help the project/distribution or organize the group buy themselves.

Webwit, I know you want this to succeed and I'm sure that you would have organized the group buy like me if I could have done it myself. But the case of this project is pretty much closed.
If any member want to organize a second run group buy (we've seen this before), he will be more than welcome ...

So if shipping to the US is free and shipping to the world is not, this means it's a US-centered service where people from Europe subsidize free US shipping?

Webwit, they are based in the US, so naturally it costs more to ship elsewhere.
Frankly, when the project started back in 2011, the ...

I got mine today. Amazing work from clickclack!

Thanks everyone, the ErgoDox was a great project to create with the help of the community.

Welcome gdaian :). Lol. Good luck with python, it's an amazing amount of fun :).

About the rest, FWIW, I'm good with whatever, as long as I can only get the pieces I still need when it happens :). It'd be cool to hear more discussion on case options, even though I may not need one. That's really ...

I've been quite busy lately but I can see that a lot of people want to get the group buy going.
I won't have time to run it personally but someone else can do it.
I don't really care if it's done with massdrop or a group buy. From what I've read in the last few posts, massdrop looks like a good idea.

Thanks guys! Hahah 80's pirating at it's best. I remember recording songs as they played on the radio. 8-)

forcefollow: M15x. The U2711 makes it look small.

What's wrong with the ergodox teasing? :D

My desk was too high so I decided to build myself a keyboard tray from scrap wood I had lying around.

I am very pleased with the result. It's still a ugly desk ...

With alu plates, you can drill/tap some holes in the bottom plate and get any slope by fitting different screws in those holes.
I tried a lot of different configurations and the best for me is a slope from the inner top to the outer bottom.

One of the 3 feet (upper left) from the KMAC need to be taller then the other 2 to have the slope that you want. This is the slope I'm using at work with my 2nd shapeways case (I need to post pics of that) and it's very comfortable.

Great!
For the feet, it depends on how you want to have it sloped or flat. To get a slope, I would place the 3 corners first and try to mark the position of the thumb foot before sticking it. Or with the dimensions of the feet I could determine the exact position from my 3D model.

I'm almost done on the plate laminate case design. I just need a few extra hours to finish it.
I've been very busy in the past weeks. I bought my first house and I'm moving in saturday.

Countersunk screws would be nice and possible but they require extra ...

Did you place the jumpers correctly on the side of the TRRS connector? Any photo of your PCBs?

You can use it with only the controller hand connected but you absolutly need the resistors on the controller side.

I also thing that you need the additional usb connector installed for it to work.

I had the same problem at first. you need to put the two 2.2k resistor and everything should work fine.

Just loading the hex file should work fine.

I added the part list to the website with links to online stores; http://ergodox.org/Hardware.aspx
I really need to find some time to put more info on there!

Thanks bill for the kind words and welcome to DeskThority!
I probably spent over 1000$ over the prototype and testing phase. I'm ok ...

ErgoDox: 38cm to ∞

I got the PCBs from bpiphany today! I should have some Teensy by the end of the week to complete a prototype.

I knew it! Very nice bpiphany, I can't wait to test it!

Scroll over the taskbar to change the volume. I love this one!

The PCBs will probably be under 50$ for the pair. The case situation is still pending. I'm currently using a shapeways case that cost ~275$ (because it's angled) and a flat shapeways case cost ~200$. dorkvader is working on a aluminium plate laminate case.

Vader on the ErgoDox.

Different kind of bike.

That wasn't long..... edit: I guess it's some attachment in a post.
