Cantaloupe: a ~60% QMK-compatible Split Ergonomic Keyboard
« on: Sun, 29 November 2020, 03:27:17 »
Finally ready to share my pet project that I've been working on! The layout is based on the Ergodash layout with the inner-most keys removed and an improved thumb cluster. The Pro Micro position was also moved inwards to allow for a thinner board. The layout was only used as a reference, nothing was copied and the board is a completely new design.

  • Slim design, or as slim as I could get while using standard MX-style Switches. Essentially, the Pro Micro or whatever mounts under the PCB, flush and facing up with the help of a cutout.
  • MX and Alps switches supported.
  • 0.96" SSD1306 OLED supported.
  • Up to two rotary encoders supported in the thumb cluster, one on each side.
  • 301230 LiPo support under pro micro and on-board hard switch.

  • 7/11/2020: Fixed position of RHS screw hole and wiring of rotary encoder switch, added QMK firmware.
  • 11/11/2020: Updated to V1.2. Switch footprints changed to solder holes, compatible with MX, Alps and SMK switches. 5-way switch removed. Pro Micros flipped, facing downward, to reduce overall thickness of keyboard. Diode footprints changed to allow use of both TH and SMD (SOD-123(F) and glass DO-35) diodes.
  • 14/11/2020: Changed USB C connector to normal from mid-mount.
  • 29/11/2020: Updated to V1.3. Added 2u switch locations in outer bottom corners and thumb cluster. Slightly increased size to allow for high-profile case options. Changed mounting holes on PCB to pass-through holes to allow for direct top and bottom plate mounting. Removed SMK switch support. Updated plate to add Alps compatibility.
  • Changed OLED compatibility to 0.96" OLED. Removed Crenshaw compatibility. Removed large cutout in plate for pro micro and Crenshaw, added smaller cutout just showing screen of 0.96" OLED.
