After I’ve used my Lou1:e PCBs a while and I had some ideas for a PCB that was more suited for experimenting with crazy designs I started thinking about creating a new version. After talking to the user 4pplet on the Mechanical Keyboard Sweden discord I decided that STM32 had just what I wanted, a […]
After my failure with Lou:1c – my first keyboard and after the new PCBs arrived I started with a case to go with the PCB. Design inspiration I started designing several versions, and even halfway built some before I finally saw an image in a Discord channel. The image had no attribution but there was […]
After the failure and lessons learned with the design and production of Lou1:d I didn’t give up. And started working on Lou1:e. I decided to skip the extra column of switches to the left, my idea was that I could keep the wirings and add solder points for an external 5 row 1 column PCB […]
While designing my own PCB I created some prototypes. To test my designs and the capabilities of JLCPCB. I wanted to test the newly created footprints, colours and silk-screen prints among other things. So here are a small gallery of those prototypes.
After trying hand-wiring i decided that I wanted to try to make a custom PCB. This would be the first that was a bit more advanced, with a MCU and USB. I also wanted a PCB for the vintage SMK switches I just bought from Ebay. I used EasyEDA to design it since i would […]
Somewhere late 2019 me and my friend discovered that the Makerspace here in Jönköping had laser cutter. Someone had lended it to the space for a indefinite time and we started to get in in order right away. Our goal was to cut parts for keyboards, we had both started looking into custom built mechanical […]
