[Defying]

Is there an ETA to when these will arrive? Excited

[AKmalamute]

Is there an ETA to when these will arrive? Excited

OP says they're all in the mail, so it's up to the postal service now. Yes, it should be soon, and yes, I'm excited too.

[mrklaw]

What? I still haven't received a shipping invoice. kinruan, can you check to make sure you sent me one? I can pm you my contact information again if you need it again.

[Synjin]

I still haven't been invoiced yet

[okwchin]

I see the OP is updated

[osxoep]

Mine arrived yesterday. Picked it up from the post office today.

Now for some fun

edit: I should say, thank you very much for the GB. I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly!

[mashby]

Mine arrived yesterday. Thank you.

I'll post pictures this weekend.

[Defying]

Just received my PCB!



Thanks kinruan, very fast GB can't wait till my solder arrives

also, when will you be posting up the instructions to program the controller?~

[geniekid]

I used a dremel to cut off the bottom row of mine.  A quick multimeter test shows everything still works! 

Also looking for instructions on programming...I guess since it's an ATmega32u4 I could figure out the matrix and modify TMK code, but I really don't want to, lol.

[xavierblak]

Well since this is basically a GHpad you can check the original thread. I'll probably check myself later once I get my keypad assembled.

[Synjin]

I never got invoiced for my order even if OP said he was going to invocie me soon =(

[geniekid]

I was able to program the firmware.  I pulled ghpad firmware from regack's repository (found via a Google search) and followed the directions in various readmes.  Flashed using FLIP.  I haven't installed any LEDs, but I have a 4x5 number pad with the *usual* layout working now.

Odd did mine not ship yet? I did not receive anything

Mine didn't have any tracking information, it just arrived in my mailbox.

Here's a few photos (more here):

[SpAmRaY]

Haven't seen mine either.

[Glod]

apparently this came yesterday right after i posted i did not get it, i checked the mailbox too early

[Paranoid]

I'd like to order one PCB please. Thanks a lotti!

[byker]

My pcbs arrived on Friday! Thanks for the GB! 

[Glod]

anybody have trouble getting these to work?

i made firmware with the easyavr app and then flashed with flip as i have done with other keyboards like frosty flake and it essentially does not work even though it shows up on my device manager.

mine is already programmed, works perfectly fine but right now i'm trying to get flip to detect my numpad, since it's already pre-flashed it doesn't show up as "unknown usb device" or w/e and until i install the driver, FLIP won't let me do anything. :\

oops, i'm stupid. forgot to press the button on the back...

edit: yup, same thing as you. shows up in device manager, just doesn't function.

[Glod]

The keypads I got were not preprogrammed. A huge bummer when I got them

[metalliqaz]

I don't really want to search through this whole thread.  Was a hardware spec published?

If not, I might be able to figure it out if I was provided some high-res photos of both sides of the PCB before getting switches installed.

[Flamingchook]

Kinruan, I have received a package from you but it is not what I ordered. I won't go into details here as I have sent you a PM with photos. Look forward to hearing from you.

I think Mashby posted some pretty high res photos a couple of posts above yours here.  Also I was able to use regack's firmware (based on TMK) to program the board, so I'm assuming the information here is applicable.

Ah, even better.  If there is a known-good TMK I can just take the pin assignments from that source.  Good work

Please note I cut the PCB down to 4x5 so I have not tested TMK on the complete board.

TMK works fine on my 4x6 PCB.

[okwchin]

Invoice received and paid woo!! thanks!

[mashby]

I know geniekid used a dremel to trim is PCB down to 4x5. I'm looking to do the same and I'm curious if that's the best way.

I've seen some PCBs where they appear to snap, but this one doesn't look like a candidate for that type of procedure.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

[AKmalamute]

There's a string of tiny holes whose only purpose is, I assume to weaken the PCB in a perfectly straight line ... although someone in this thread commented on the recommended process, quoting the GHpad thread from afar into the past. Score repeated, I assume across the tiny holes, all the way to the other edge?

 Then carefully press the 'good' PCB to a countertop, and lean heavily on the 'bad' part. KerSNAP!

...oh, and I got mine today. Yay!

[geniekid]

I commented earlier about scoring it repeatedly, but I can't seem to find the post I was thinking about in the GHPad thread.  In fact, the last post I can find talking about the breakaway-ability of the thing is this, where regack says you'll probably have to cut it.

Regardless, after getting the board I tried to score it repeatedly with an exacto-knife and decided it would take way too long, which is when I turned to the dremel.  If you choose a similar path, be wary of fiberglass dust.

And final disclaimer - I'm a total noob at this stuff.  I would be very interested in hearing what others who have cut PCBs have done.

my case is backordered :( this looks great glod!

[SpAmRaY]

My PCB arrived yesterday, haven't had time to check it out.

[AKmalamute]

Flashed using FLIP.

Now, mine came preprogrammed but I wanted to reprogram it, so ... compiled a .hex file from the linked github page; took a bit of doing as the LUFA support wasn't there I had to copy it to a full-TMK copy but anyway it compiled and I think it's a working layout EXCEPT...

When I press the reset button, the TEENSY loader doesn't see it. Okay, use FLIP ... it "could not open device" either. I'm on my work computer, I'll grant you, but still ... Device Manager (windows 7 _x64) shows an HID input device, then when I push reset and either wait a long time or tell the device manager to look for hardware changes, it shows instead under other devices ATm32U4DFU. But FLIP doesn't agree ... I can't program it.

What am I missing here?

You did specify the chip that it's using in FLIP right?

[AKmalamute]

You did specify the chip that it's using in FLIP right?

Yes, and tried a few others just in case.

Based on what I'd followed in this thread (I'll look again) and device manager says its the 32u4, so ... that's what I'd pick, right?

EDIT: OP has some documents that are in chinese. Google translate definately says its the atmega32u4 ... as do the attached .bat files. But that DFU programmer says its not attached, either.
