[GB][DONE] ROUND 2 LeandreN plate(designed by JDcarpe) + SPRiT PCB

[Jixr]

Hopefully my CF plate will come in the mail today.

I'm actually going to use it on a much larger board I don't have a plate for , but if it does not work, I may end up re-selling it, so if any of you guys missed out on one of the 5 Carbon Fiber plates, you may have another chance.

I know a guy who would love one!

That would be me! If it doesn't work out, I'll buy it ASAP, Jixr. I'll send you a PM! LeandreN knows how much I've been going crazy about having one, lol.

[Jixr]

I would like to put it on my redscarf, but if the probably likely reason it won't fit how i imagine it to, then i'll have a post in the classy. ( or you can entice me with trade offers via PM )

Hi, I just finished my build today and it surely was fun but I have quite a big problem. The keyboard stopped working after sometime and pluging it out and in again, the PC did not identify it. I tried to upgrade the firmware but it said "problems downloading.." and now it stopped working at all. Did I kill something on the keyboard or is it possible to reset the firmware somehow? thanks

Not great.

I am not sure what's happening here. I would refer to the SPRiT 60% parts thread for assistance. People here are also really helpful. If you don't find anything that helps you, contact me and I can see if I can send a replacement. I also sent a mail to SPRIT, but i doubt he will answer anytime soon.

[TalkingTree]

Is it possible to reset the firmware somehow?

SPRiT's 60% is a FaceW so you can use this tutorial.

[fgsz291]

Thank you, I already posted there too, and tried everything written there. The Problem is my board does not get into the bootloader I guess.

Meaning it doesn't get into bootloader state by plugging the usb cable with the Q key pressed down?
If you have remapped it to somewhere else, for example to get a Dvorak layout, I guess you still need to hold the default Q key down as it's the first key in the matrix.

[fgsz291]

Yes it will not be recognized by Windows and it doesn't start up in the bootloader while pressing Q, U or P.I haven't remapped anything, I tried flashing it because it randomly disconnected and started to key chatter (After all I guess the connector has a loose connection). And I guess it disconnected while flashing and stopped working at all now...

Are there any leftovers or anyway I can get a new board for around the same price?

[TalkingTree]

Yes it will not be recognized by Windows

Try with Zadig.

[fgsz291]

Yes it will not be recognized by Windows

Try with Zadig.

The computer says "no driver found" and Zadig says driver was installed successfully

Might be dead then, but await for a second opinion before dumping.

[fgsz291]

Thank you, I am afraid you might be right

[LeandreN]

Replacement then...

Trying to ask SPRiT first. Also, I'm need to wait for a transaction before shipping stuff.

[fgsz291]

Thanks for the help, no need to hurry, I'm not in a rush. Just PM me if you need something and how much I owe you.

[bigDave]

Mine parts have arrived, but I am at uni so no build yet.

A big thank you for organizing the group buy! 

[MarkRobbo]

Had chance to unpack my order, got here in perfect condition and looks good, but no build yet due to uni similarly to others 

Have a hammer case to house it so should be nice!

[ika]

Got my plate today! The anodizing is very nice. Did not expect how tightly it holds onto switches, but it functions perfectly as a lube station as well until I figure out how I want to set up the whole board.

[LeandreN]

Thanks for posting!

If you have any extra PCB's I'm interested in one

Agreed.

[tofgerl]

We all are, let's just wait till he announces if he has any left.

Got my plate today! Looks like it might need to spend a bit of time under something heavy.

Later, I'm at work so it's still packaged up. The package looks only slllliiiiiiightly bent, so I'm not too worried.

Okey

[Jixr]

about half the plates that i've ordered from people on here and keyboard websites show up bent, I hate when people mail them in unprotected bubble mailers. though i'm sure mine from leandren will be good

Though my computer pooped the bed this weekend, so i'm 99% certain i'll be re-selling my carbon fiber plate once it comes in.

EDITED FOR CLARITY

about half the plates that i've ordered show up bent, pro tip to everyone. bubble envelopes are not the proper way to ship plates.

I'll be ready. Sorry to hear about the bending. Damn, if the CF turns up bent, that must've been one hell of a rough shipment.

[LeandreN]

What? CF bent? Please provide some pictures, i packaged it in a cardboard box.

[childofthehorn]

Anyone know for the RGB Leds for the SpritPCB are 5mm/7mm ? Common Anode or common Cathode? 

This is going to be awesome. Also seems like a bunch of us got the Tex acrylic cases for this. Kinda perfect for the sprit PCB.

These PCBs do not support RGB LEDs.

I read that as: previous plates were bent and now his computer broke so he will have to sell the CF plate when it arrives, presumably for cash to fix the computer.

No sorry, i meant that quite often when i buy plates from people they show up bent, often because poor packing. ( just stuffing them in bubble mailers )

CF won't bend, it will just flex till it snaps. I don't have it in hand yet, hoping to get it today.

edited my op for clarity.

Do you guys think the plate and sprit pcb will fit in an Eagle case? I know the Duck cases tend to be fairly wonky in terms of screw placement.

afaik it will not.

Sprit PCB mounting holes are the same a Poker. Check out these couple of posts where someone asked basically the reverse: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74953.msg1858270#msg1858270, shows the mounting positions of both. At a glance, looks like maybe a few mounts align?

OFF TOPIC: Got the SIP sockets. Thanks man

Yeah, looks like 4 line up, which IMO is enough to build a steady board.

Thats more than enough. I have 2 in my Pok3r

Today I got my package!



I'm looking forward to put it together

Haha, damn. Time to wait until the next round pops up! WILL NOT MISS IT. D:

Got my package yesterday, thank you! Dumb of me to assume costar would work based on the pictures but holes were too big. Do you know where I can get good quality stabs in the US?

[tofgerl]

7bit over on the Deksthority forums has a weird store run out of a forum bot. I think he's in Berlin, though.

[Jixr]

oooooooh

Sadly it won't work for what i was going to use it for, and I dont' see myself building another 60% anytime soon, so its going to its new home this week.

oooooooh

I think the picture link is broken, anyway, I opened it manually.

Awesome! Thanks.

[romevi]

Don't suppose someone has a blue one they'd be willing to sell? Finally found a perfect case to get and begin my 60% journey.
