Raspberry Pi has announced the official launch of its Raspberry Pi Radio Module 2 — now available as a standalone product for the first time, priced at just $4.
Leider nicht zur Diesjährigen :(
Thanks for the Feedback @thpoll.bsky.social !
There is a great article on the Polykybd in the current german issue of @makemagazin.de ! link to the @crowdsupply.bsky.social page below
Me: **really needs to get these V5 Rev4 gerbers in like yesterday to get them shipped before CNY**
Also me: **spends 3 days nudging tracks around purely for aesthetics (yes, including the inner layers because fuck you)**
During my lunch break, I took the chance to visit the only #mechanicalkeyboard store www.geekboards.de in Germany. Thanks for the hospitality! Amazing store!
Nice to see that you also changed your mind on the colors... Maybe that is a valid reason in 2024 to do another revision (and fix some ooopsi)?
Funny, just heard that on mastodon ;) Sounds great, but I have to do that manually as I have traces in the other layers...
3/3 So I'm redesigning my footprint to have larger copper areas for additional adhesion and cover that copper with the solder mask. I hope this improves things! Also thinking about teardrops... Any experiences?
2/3 Then I saw this video from a keyboard vendor showing how to solder on some bodge wires if this happens (so this seems happen more often..):
1/3 This happened to a friend when doing a test assembly of the #PolyKybd:
We need to rebuild our electronics Twitter network, let's have an awesome HW/SW project thread!
Reply here with one or more projects that you are proud of and people might recognize you for 😊
And some more...
Wow! Since I got so many new followers over the last few days, I will post some PolyKybd pics.🎉 Once a while, I also post some stuff on ko-fi.com/polykb/posts and in case someone is interested in the kit, head to www.crowdsupply.com/polykybd/pol... Thank You🙏
A table with black cloth and lots of pcbs on it with labels next to them. There is also a large PCB with full color silkscreen on an easle. Also a photo frame with the Solder Party logo, description and a qr code. There's also some keeb things in a box in the back 👀
Solder Party all set up at #KiCon 😊
New blog post! Diffusers, Software, CE Stuff and background info to the Video. Check it out! #MechanicalKeyboards ko-fi.com/post/Polishi...
It has been a bit quiet, but I'm still working on it: crowdsupply just uploaded my video to their #YouTube channel🎉: youtu.be/pXc64xxlNH0?si… (click on the link for 4K glory). Enjoy~ #MechanicalKeyboard #PolyKybd
Überraschung von den Raspi-Entwicklern: Der RP2350-Chip des Pico 2 ist nicht nur stärker als der RP2040, sondern hat auch alternativ nutzbare RISC-V-Kerne. #Raspberry Pi
A set of three PCBs, one is a small rectantular one, the RP2350 Stamp, another is a bit larger, the RP2350 Stamp XL. The last one is a Due/Mega form-factor and footprints for the Stamps to be installed. It also contains a large amount of various connectors, including USB Host and Device, microSD, HDMI-shaped one, Qwiic, LiPo, DC Jack.
We're proud to announce our latest additions to the Stamp line, powered by @raspberrypi.bsky.social's latest MCU:
- RP2350 Stamp
- RP2350 Stamp XL
- RP2xxx Stamp Carrier XL
They will become available in a few weeks, but we want to mention some of the highlights in this thread:
I added some diffusers to the LED hole to make the light more ambient and the housing more dust proof. Over-engineered? #PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard
I found this funny USB-C connector... It makes your split keyboard a mono-block 😂
I created a short video on how to use the Latin extended/supplement characters (æ,ã,š,ß,ç, etc...) and how to pick other alternatives (sent via #UNICODE) on the #PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard
youtu.be/3h96KhmJhUs?...
#PolyKybd #MechanicalKeyboard As I can now display shortcuts depending on the program context, I decided to write a post about it: ko-fi.com/post/Program...
I wrote a post that briefly explains the protocol for transferring overlays and stuff #MechanicalKeyboard ko-fi.com/post/How-The...
Created a shortcut overlay for #inkscape Very satisfying to see the icons on the keycaps 🥹 #MechanicalKeyboard #PolyKybd
And here is the talk, ~25min (I was a bit nervous at the beginning, so please excuse a few screwed up words): www.youtube.com/live/oqJCU8F...
A split keyboard with each key having a small oled so that the label can be changed at will. Also each key has an led, also there's an LCD on each side, also there's a scroll wheel on one side and a trackpad on the other one.
Got to see @thpoll.bsky.social's PolyKybd in person at #HackadayBerlin and wow, my photos don't do it justice, it's a beautiful piece of hardware 😊
