Let me know what you think of this new build format, I think I really like it since it allows me to really go in-depth on what I'm doing! Also, as a side note... the video on code for wireless builds will be coming soon. I just feel that is much better suited for it's own video.

Livestream build channel when?

An interesting video about the code would be what features are available for ZMK/QMK and some cool uses for each feature

The nice nano is a WIRELESS drop in for the Pro Micro. Might be pointing out the obvious for more experienced nerds, but I got a little confused with the wording in this video. Still a great video & I appreciate you for it!

Top quality video. Every new video seems to get even better than the last, cant wait to see whats next!

Super impressive, absolutely love it!

Really like this style!

I love this format and I like the numpad

Awesome work

The new format is great I feel like I understood a lot more about the build process unlike regular video, If you could I would love to have more videos like that!

For sure! This is definitely the format I’m going to be proceeding more with now. That’s not to say I won’t do other things too but I really ended up liking how this came out :)

Enjoyed your video. thank you

Mind-blown on the UV resin trick!

I use UV resin whenever I can. It’s so much better than superglue… in most situations.

Would love a video on zmk with matrix stuff... I've only done direct wiring so far and matrixes on zmk make my brain fart. Great vid btw. The casual non-scripted video style suits you better :)

great video!

Thanks for this video. I've just become interested in building a keyboard from scratch and seeing the circuits as a result of hand-wiring has really cleared up a lot of mystery about how they work for me. I'm also from South Africa and not sure if I can get boards printed here, so this has given me a last resort!

It’s super rewarding when I build a board completely from scratch! If you’re not able to get a board printed locally, I just launched scottokeebs.com which has all my keyboards available for purchase as a 3D print.

First time checking out the channel, I came for the keyboard - I'll stay for the shirt :D

Guys, it's not wireless! Pay attention, there are wires inside.

UV Resins are awesome. When I had teeth problems this stuff came in handy, and worked for years. I had two bad cavities on my fangs. I used cheap UV glue to fill them in. When I hit them with the light, it kinda burned a bit, but after that I didn’t have a problem. Occasionally the homemade fillings would come out, but at least I could pop them back in. I don’t have to live that way anymore What can I say? I grew up on MacGyver and M.A.S.H God Bless.

Hi, you seemed to have linked to everything but the battery. Was wondering if you have a purchase link for that one too? Also how does that work? Is the Arduino already setup to handle the charging when it's plugged in?

@joe_scotto

Жыл бұрын

It's not an Arduino... it's a Nice Nano which supports wiresless. As for the battery, it's just a 3.7v lipo and on the controller is a plus and minus pad where you solder the battery on. This one here should work and is nearly identical to what I used: amzn.to/3Qm9dl4 When cutting the leads of the battery, make sure to cut only one at a time and then protect it until ready to use to avoid a short.

​@@joe_scotto Oh! I just saw what you had in the parts list which was an Arduino Pro Micro which looked similar enough at quick glance. I see now it's not that. Also watching again I see you did say it was a Nice Nano in the video. Anyways! Thanks for pointing that out and for the battery link!

To solder the battery, the positive lead goes into VCC and the negative on any GROUND on the nice!nano ? Or does it go to RAW and GROUND? It looks like it was connected to RAW.

@joe_scotto

No. There is a positive and minus pad on the left and right of the USB-C port. The battery needs to connect to those pads.

If you have 18 keys or less, you don’t need diodes on a Nice Nano or Pro Micro.

Presuming you 3d printed the case, you could also 3d print a rectangular "button" under the controller, and a hole on the bottom, so you can like push into it to pop off the micro easily

how does it connect wirelessly?, adding the battery surely powers it, but does it use bluetooth?

@joe_scotto

Жыл бұрын

Yup, just connects over Bluetooth. Once it’s powered, it will be broadcasting then you can connect it on the computer. The key map itself has different profiles that you can use to connect multiple devices so you can switch.

> wireless numpad the thumbnail clearly shows wires, liar jokes aside this is pretty neat

The fact that you said at the end of the video that your "brain is fried" every time when you finish soldering is concerning. You shouldn't be breathing in fumes during soldering. If your solder contains lead that might damage your brain in the long run. Please make sure you solder in well ventilated area using lead-free alloy.

@joe_scotto

Thank you for the concern. It's not so much the fumes that fry me as I vent it out the window and have filters in the room. It's more that after 4 hours of straight tedious handwiring, I get very burnt out. I don't really breathe in many fumes but of course I can't avoid them all.
