    Ferris sweep uses choc switches which Are quite expensive. The Corne is not reversible i think, making the pcb more expensive. Also, both uses two pro micros which Are more expensive than the rp2040 of the cheapino, which also uses just one.

    Not very big difference, but its cheaper…









  • Hey, thats a very nice build!

    Im only using Mac, so I mapped the encoder to undo/redo, which on mac is LGUI+KC_Y/Z, but unfortunately not the same on windows. On windows gui(win)+y/z just equals “y/z”, so thats why you get y and z when you turn the encoder.

    Like @pixelprimer@lemmy.world says, you need to edit the encoder.c file to tweak it to what you want. If you cant figure it out, let me know how you would like it and Ill send you some code.

    I checked the default keymap, and there is indeed double space there, I guess nobody has ever used it…

    Anyway, what you want to do is go into keyboards/cheapino/keymaps and copy “tompi” to e.g. “chracoon”, and then upload the keymap.json file to the configurator. When you are finished tweaking, download to same place and flash with “make cheapino:chracoon:flash”

    Let me know if anything doesnt work.

    And like @Ar7h@lemmy.world says, I did indeed make a little bobo when routing the reversed RJ45, but fortunately it was pretty easy to fix in software, the matrix has to be custom anyway… There are some ghosting issues which I have not found the root cause for, but havent really hade the time to dig into it(just fixed the ones I found in software…) I suspect these are related to my choice of doubling the columns of the duplex matrix, instead of the usual row-doubling…
