Can this be used for Abel-X?

YMMV

Quote from: Chippy on Wed, 30 December 2020, 05:43:29
There were some questions posed about the 1.2og pcb working in AbelX. I am currently using a 1.2og yellow pcb in my abelx, albeit there are some caveats.
- For alphas everything is fine
- For tkl cluster (arrows, print screen/delete etc) spacing is off
- I had to cut and trim the pegs in switches to make them fit, but it works
- Mini-USB port sits further back on 1.2og pcb compared to the abelx pcb, which extends the mini-usb port out about 1cm. Usb ports align, however, which means if you have a small cable it works fine.

I would not recommend doing this, but if you are in a pinch and want to use your abelx, a 1.2og pcb will work...sort of

Hope this helps, and gives some closure to the issue.

edit: I figured it was obvious, but without some janky hand wiring the leds will not work...as there are none on the board.

Protos didn't go into production till after CNY (we hoped it'd be done before then), so Upas is await them currently.

I'm again, sorry to keep everyone waiting.  :-[

So glad to hear things are moving along. My pcb just died today. You are now my only hope. Want to express my gratitude for this project.

Yes, prototype PCBs have arrived. Going through the testing process right now.

Respect the amount of work going into this.
recently was able to get a 1.2 so would be very excited to grab a few extras pcbs  :thumb:

While waiting for these to become avail XYZ and I ported the original Matrix 1.2OG PCB to QMK.
The PR just got merged: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/11614

So if you don't want to wait any longer for basic QMK capabilities you can use the original PCB now as well (RGB works too btw).
The only downside of this is that you can't use VIA because of the MCU that was used on those boards (STM32 without EEPROM storage).

(I personally am still going to get one of the replacements for VIA support.)

nvm...
latest chibios update in QMK broke the port completely. Don't use it for now :-X

Proto works, LED works, everything works.

Going to get a proto plate cut, as quickly as we can. Then into GB we go.

Really glad to have found this project!

I just acquired a 1.2OG and was surprised to learn the pcb is not QMK compatible..
Also would really be interested in the other plate options (not sure if there's any alternatives around atm)

Would appreciate some pics / typing tests of the protos if you have the chance!  :)

Sound test => it'll sound like a 1.2og, there's plenty of them floating around.

PCB pictures => we got the protos made in green, I can take a picture of the one that's in my board but it's literally just a green PCB.

Plates => Upas and I are opting to run without offering plates, mostly because 1) plate files are posted on page 2 2) strictly due to time constraints, this project has sort of dragged along for a while now and I think it's time to just get this going. I do wish we could have gotten around to doing plates but knowing how busy we (Upas and I) are going to be these next upcoming months, easier to just get them out the door this way.

Makes sense, I'd be happy to join a PCB GB regardless.  :thumb:
Not sure if you're still taking requests on colors, but red would be a great color to have as well.

I've never seen a sound test for a non-aluminum plate 1.2OG, so I guess that would take some deeper investigation / experimentation.
I'd really be interested in the sound and feel of a PC plate on this board.. I'll have to look into something like SendCutSend.

I'm trying to flash QMK on rev1 PCB for the moment until I get my hands on one of these PCBs, is this still broken?
Perhaps it'd be possible to use the port if I compile from the last commit that still worked with your PR?

Not sure of the risks of flashing a faulty firmware, if it would brick the PCB or anything like that.

Long shot necromancy (double) attempt: any chance of a round 2 or any kind soul who bought too many during GB is willing to sell one PCB?
