I internally Teensied my SSK today

[khaangaaroo]

I used a nut as a spacer and hot glue to mount it on the PCB. I wanted it mounted high so the cable would clear the stand when I pushed it back against the monitor. Pictures!

What are you planning on doing with that Teensy? I'm going to get an SSK soon and I'm looking for some project ideas ^__^

[khaangaaroo]

I just like having a USB port at the keyboard so that I can easily swap between boards without having to unplug it from the back of my tower. The original cord was a little short too. So I just did it for the convenience.

I'm happy with the standard SSK layout, so I didn't do any key remapping like I did with the Teensy on my Model F XT.

[CPTBadAss]

Oooo, that is a good idea. I'm stealing it

Edit: Now I have to go find your Model F XT mod. I think it'd be cool to have a function layer or something on the SSK

[codyeatworld]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

I dunno if I ever posted about fitting a Teensy into a XT. I don't think I took any pictures for that, so I never posted about it. But the method is similar. The only difference is that you mount the Teensy directly to the case instead of the PCB, and you have to cut the hole a little larger so the usb cable will fit.

Did you remap any of the keys with the teensy? Anyways this is a really cool mod.

[khaangaaroo]

Thanks. I didn't remap anything since the SSK is already in the layout I'm familiar with.
But it isn't difficult to remap keys once you figure out how to do it the first time. I think the instructions for remapping are a little vague. Maybe it's because I'm not much of a coder. But Soarer does include several remapping schemes already typed up in some config files. All you would need to do is load his config program and point to the code if you wanted to switch to Divorak or something.
