Hi Matt3o,
could you please tell a bit more if there have been changes/fixes and if yes - what and where?

sorry for the delay, to request an account deletion send me an email from the same account you used to register on DT

I'm trying to convert a vintage board and it has a caps lock light, is there anyway to get that working? I believe that is possible but it has to be coded. Check here https://docs.qmk.fm/#/custom_quantum_functions?id=led-control Your best bet is to search between the keyboard examples one that has ...

thanks guys!

FYI there will be some updates in the ergodox and a few fixes here and there

yeah the constant availability of the set in the past surely will impact sales, but it's okay. I just want it to be out, I don't care how much it sells.

kanji FTW!

One thing I've always wondered is why SCR LK instead of SCR LCK (or NUM LCK instead of NUM LK)?

that is a very good question and I really don't remember It is very likely that one of the "LOCK" keys didn't fit so we used LK for all of them.

I haven't done any handwiring yet, but given the pins' offset on MX-type switches would it be reasonable to solder the row diodes directly between two switches rather than using wire? (However it would preclude your "naked wire" approach on the columns.) yes it's totally viable, I've always done th...

https://cdn.matt3o.com/themes/matt3o/imgs/book-cover-small.jpg It took me a while, I started writing this guide two years ago but the first part is finally finished. This basically supersedes my previous guides I posted here on Deskthority 7 years ago (holy smokes!). If you are interested the "book...

it will be available soon on massdrop

edit the post and untick the "Notify me when a reply is posted"

those are weirdly sounding switches. they remind me of futaba clicky maybe

can you install xcode command line tools only?

well at least it's nice to see there are fewer mac users.

okay let's try this:

is there anyone with a Mac willing to test this with me? Maybe on Discord

I'm rewriting the TMK firmware building tutorial but I don't have access to a mac anymore and I wanted some help regarding setting up the development environment. I'm pretty sure you still need XCode, can you still install just the command line tools? Then you need the AVR Toolchain, the official on...

yes, international is a go

coronavirus set things back a little, but we are testing the side printed kit (that we never did before). It might take a few weeks but it will be up and running soon. I don't think it will be a group buy, but a just a standard sale.

I'm thinking of using acetone vapor smoothing, like with ABS 3D prints, to smooth the keycaps.

that is what I was going to suggest, but you need to be very careful, you are going to smoothen all the edges and the legend as well

aaaaw, thank you!

what about Tinder?

There is a DT discord?

regarding the old-man-rant, well, just don't use it.

that's actually a good idea...

It is PLA! I dont have rotary tool anw, i was planning to sand it by hands

use a hobby knife to scrape off the excess and then sand it starting from around 400. You can go to 600 or 800 if you want it smoother, but it really takes a lot of time.

we miss an important bit. what material is that?

if PLA for example it's not easy to sand and absolutely do not use rotary tools (dremel)

it would be very expensive to mill out the imperfections, you also need to re-anodize everything... so you would probably need to sand blast the original anodization away, fix the dents (possibly even by hand) and then anodize it back. I mean anything is possible but you'd need to find a friend/make...

1. drag images in the text box
2. yeah working on it
3. go ahead (under ebay section)

what I would like is an open firmware to be able to customize the LCD under the numpad buttons and the "media dock", but that is not gonna happen and it will be the same old windows-only half-baked and never updated app
