These are Cherry MX, but what happened to the keycaps?

Thanks for this useful guide! I used it this weekend on a Matias mini quiet pro keyboard. One thing I would like to point out is that for keyboards with diodes on one of the pins (for n-key rollover) the polarity of the multimeter pins matters (at least it did on my old fluke 70 meter). Instead of ...

if we go TEX we have to work with what they are comfortable with. That would make development so much faster. Otherwise we have to build everything from scratch. As I said I'm currently exploring both options. Is it just development time and cost that is stopping from producing bluetooth power fail...

I believe the price is one "immortal soul", payable on demand, for the moral crime of turning away from Salvation when they had a half decent excuse right there for you to donate and get another keyboard out of it. Sinner! Hmm. Preachy is a hard mode to write jokes in! I must practice. Anyway, I've...

Thanks for the suggestions __red__ and mastermachetier. I have seen the cheap kit DSO's all over eBay. Selling at roughly £15, they're so cheap it's almost beer money, but assembly might try my patience a tad. If I make a mistake, I'm not sure my 30-plus year old digital multimeter (goodness me!) w...

I'm going to have several AEK II with Japanese legends coming to me soon. Once I get them cleaned up I'll probably sell to the community since I won't need them all.

Replace f6 by F6 and F0 by F10 in the first line of your second layer in keymap_raf.c . Also delete the trailing comma in this line: NO, TRNS,TRNS,LCTL, TRNS, TRNS,TRNS,TRNS,TRNS,TRNS, DEL , BSPC,TRNS), I don't know if that's all, but that seems to be what the error messages that you're getting are...
