Will it work for AT101 (bottom row 1.5, 1u, 1.5, 7u spacebar, 1.5, 1u, 1.5)?
Yes
Might be getting ahead of things here, but what case options other than possibly the Phantom are currently available?
Designing a case is on my short list of things to do. I'm not sure if it is economically viable. However, I intend this to be used with several different cases. Everything is untested of course, but things like the TeX, sandwich cases, and other 'standard' TKL cases will be compatible.
Welcome to the third dimension
I'm putting features in now. The BAE and stepped caps lock should be ready.
Diodes are so easy when you can reference a picture
Adding some of the crazier things to this project made things too ugly with just a 2 layer board. So here is my creative workaround.
The LED pins used by the Phantom build are there, but they aren't connected to anything. If you want to brighten your experience, you can use these through hole slots to add your own lighting. I tried making a loop of BG two color LED diodes around the outside, but when I calculated the power requirements, I was nearing 750mW! Since this build is intended to be used with the Dom board which has a 100mW limit, it isn't practical to make LED's a default option. Low power is sexier than lights, right?
As for my neat ideas about an optional bluetooth module which breaks the USB trace, it doesn't seem practical. The space requirements were too prohibitive. But I still have hopes for crazy things like wireless customs. As such, I added a hackable area.
There should be sufficient pins here to do bluefruit mods.
See this. Rather than just make a slot for a bluefruit breakout board, I wanted to keep it free in here in case someone else comes up with something cool they want to try.
With this board nearing completion, I started getting quotes for it. I still need to chit chat with their engineers to ensure they understand my crazy slots, but here is the automatically generated custom quote for a board:
