So, let's open the box!@ IMG_20181217_084820060.jpg Perty!!! Lots of Candy and what appears to be a keyboard buried underneath. Wassat? IMG_20181217_085251614.jpg A Dell AT101W. Unfamiliar with the keyboard but a few clicks on the deskthority wiki puts me straight. This means I am now inducted into ...

Posting to the picture thread now.

I can't be the only person on Earth who does the combination ANSI/ISO thing? Can I?

I just wanted to say that your English is excellent so please don't ever think that that is any kind of issue for you to contribute to the English language wiki.

(It's a wiki - you can make your own spanish section)

This needs to be on stickers and a line of t-shirts.

-- you want your PCB to have the less movement possible so capacitance values won't change. Yup - and typically the PCB is smooshed between two metal plates to also protect against wandering hands etc which of course would change the impedience seen at the sample frequency (since we just went into ...

(tongue in beak obviously)

What's the resolution of that monitor? I like the form-factor. Curious if they get that by adding to the side or cutting from the vertical.

Oh, this is a glorious idea. I bet few are willing to actually put numbers next to the sounds in case they slander their favorite switch

Myoth - you forgot to include the serial-numbers of the keyboards. Go big or go home <3

(In all seriousness, I get it - good on you for recognizing it before you became old and bitter like most people who leave it too long and burn out).

I for one welcome our new overl0rd.

I would be totally interested in sponsoring such a project... honestly what scares me is not actually the PCB but everything else around it... Which is why I suggested sending one of each to the usual crew. If we keep the size/format of the boards consistent then we can just build a testing rig whi...

no, the bending stuff I meant for a normal switch PCB and test curvature to see if more comfortable or not, like maltron keyboards but I think they are much more complicated than a simple curvature. For that much curvature you're going to want to try and use FPCs (which is even more expensive). Aga...

I have a question, could the outline that you make in the second layer just be a copper pour?? wouldn't that be much less work?? or is made this way because a copper pour would interfere with the capacitance of the switches. That's an excellent question - I don't honestly know. Like I mentioned in ...

So, I'll post pictures a little later today. I will say two things as a teaser. 1. Presentation-wise: 10/10 - Really nice touch ;-) 2. I am so VERY VERY VERY confused by what I found inside. I mean - I'm sure it will make sense to a whole bunch of people on this forum because I'm a BS² fan... but I ...

Do you have all the equipment to do this?
(Side-note: I acquired the contents of an S100 engineer's lab and have a metric-f-ton of S100 computers/cards/8" floppies/docs/etc that I need to re-home)

It's true, we live in a fast paced and careless world Just a comment here, and it's important. In 50 years the odds are that you / your family will have no pictures or videos of you. The cloud is a lie. Hard drives fail. Picture / Video / Hardware formats expire. Seriously - print your photos. For ...

Pims Cup

Mine arrived just as I started the Model F / Beamspring PCB design video - tormenting me out the corner of my eye the entire time...

Live (ish)

The channel -=- Look for the "live"... once it's live I'll post the specific video.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3kkrn ... VW-n5emaXQ

It will be on youtube.
I will start streaming 5 minutes early.

Feel free to join the chat and ask questions.

yes and yes

Hey Congratulations! Is this your first babe?

Nice work skipper, thanks for picking this up.

If only there was someone in the community who had moulds for the barrels, flippers, a source of springs, and willing to actually sell and deliver them today... :-/

Scheduled - see thread in Workshop.

I'll be doing a Google Hangout, Yourtube live-stream or something as discussed in other threads to teach people how to design & fab their own Model F / Beamspring PCBs. Timewise that's: 23:00 CEST 22:00 UTC 17:00 EST 16:00 CST 15:00 MST 14:00 PST If that time doesn't work out for some post down some...
