Hi,

I've always wanted a JD40 from the first time I saw one, and when the PCB was dropped at techkeys.us - I had to have it. And now it's here  ;D.


JD40 by Morten Teinum, on Flickr

Pictures of the first (?) PCB have the following layout




R1: 12
R2: 11
R3: 11
R4: 6

Total 40


Looks like there is a change in MKII with


R1: 12
R2: 11
R3: 11
R4: 10

Total: 44


From the reddit thread:

This should be possible:



Have any of you built it this way?

I've just tried this layout - unfortunately not all keys are registering at the moment - need to figure out how to remap them via easyavr I guess.

Can you take pics of both sides of the PCB?  Should be easy to add the extra positions which aren't currently visible.

edit:  Unless it's called the JD45 in EasyAVR, that looks close but I thought it was a completely different board....

Success!

I created a keymap with the missing keys in it.
 - Stick it in C:\Users\%username%\.EasyAVR\Boards
 - Then create a new keymap using the JD40 MkII keymap as a base

Now to print a decent set of keycaps for it.

Also built mine this way.


Thinking of swapping the right shift.
