12/7/2023 0 Comments Amj40 keyboard layout editor![]() Join Discord Channel for updates: Discord I love to chat and talk about stuff.Announcing Round 2 of the group buy for the AMJ40 40% keyboard! If you guys want to contact me directly, please do so over Discord. I won’t be assembling these myself though – Steven will probably want to hire a PCBA, which will considerably ramp proto prices up. I might do a prototype round for this PCB, which will probably be the same raffle style as the Doddle60 was. I honestly need feedback from you guys as that’s how I learn as a designer and make my PCBs better for the community. Please comment on what layouts you would like to see on this PCB and what am I missing. I want to be as incluse here as possible, given also that the PCB is supposed to be compatible with VCore, JD40, AMJ40 and Shark cases. Unfortunately there is not a big consensus on 40% staggered layout, as each board features its unique layout. We can of course offer RGB underglow, as QMK is soon to support it in ARM processors soon.įinally, layouts the first ever 40% I used was a Vortex Core, and the AMJ layout did feel a little clumsy so I designed the PCB around variations of the VCore (6.25U spacebar, split shift and whatnot). Third, per-key LEDs the Shark had so little LED users that honestly I feel it is a legitimate question if you guys want those per-key LEDs there. I am not a huge fan, but I can definitely see why people like it. I want to know if there is enough interest for a Minivan-compatible PCB.Īlso I’d like your input on hotswap. The issue, however, is that the Minivan layout is very particular and a special PCB would have to be designed for that, since the majority of 40% staggered layouts use a 12U width configuration while MV uses 12.75. I have received many queries from people wanting a PCB compatible to their Minivan keyboards, since Evan from TheVanKeyboards is sadly closing shop. These renders are for visualization only and are prone to changes, specially after community feedback. ![]() Renders obtained through tracespace.io website. These are subject to changes, specially after community feedback. See the below image for the proposed layouts. VIA compatibility is not an option at this time as VIA is not accepting new boards right now, but in the future maybe they will open up again and, if they do, I will try to make it compatible. As of today the Hammerhead does not have a page, but I’ll add it shortly once I prototype them. The PCB documentation will be found at the AcheronDocs page, where all documentation for the Acheron Project PCBs are. I You can access the files at the Github repository GitHub repository. Compatibility with Vortex Core, JD40, AMJ40 and Shark cases.Īs all the PCBs in my open-project Acheron, the Hammerhead is open-source. ![]() I might switch it over to STM32F303 given the current state of QMK being, at least for now, aimed at supporting 303 before 072. ARM STM32F072 processor all unused pins are broken out so that the user can expand the PCB in any way.Current inrush protection from metallic cases.Overvoltage and overcurrent protection.Data lines differential pair impedance matching through differential-coupled ferrite core choke.Full digital power rails isolation and filtering, stabilizing MCU voltage and avoiding power bugs.TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) on power lines, protecting the PCB from voltage spikes.The PCB has some nice features to it, despite its simple nature: The intention of this IC is to gather feedback on the present state of the PCB, how we intend to design and distribute it, the features required by the community, and how we can make this PCB the most inclusive possible. An eventual GB is going to happen with Stenven Wood at Wood Cables, the same vendor that did the SharkPCB group buy. This PCB is actually the first one I have ever designed for the hobby, to replace the PCB of an old AMJ40 case I bought off of r/mm, so it is really close to my heart. Most of my PCB projects are open-source and can be found in the Acheron Project, which is the compendium of PCBs and documentations.įollowing the success of the SharkPCB, I bring to you the Hammerhead, which is intended to be the natural following version of the SharkPCB. I’m Gondolindrim, a Brazilian mech enthusiast and PCB designer. The hammerhead sharks are a group of sharks in the family Sphyrnidae, so named for the unusual and distinctive structure of their heads, which are flattened and laterally extended into a “hammer” shape called a cephalofoil.Īs I’m not a prominent community member, I first present myself.
