weird, ill message you in with the next batch

[iAmAhab]

Got my pcb today, bit surprised to find no switches. Thought I read that they were on hand and going out with the pcb's. Good thing I have a old cherry board just waiting to get ripped apart for parts.

i havent got my sheet with me on this computer, but there was one order in the last batch i couldnt ship switches for, they had ordered blacks and i wasnt sent a single black switch with the switches, so i need to contact komar and find out if they are with him or on hand in the US with TJ

so essentially if it was you who ordered blacks thats why, if however you didnt order blacks, please send me a pm and ill get them sorted right away

I did indeed order them sweet blacks. Oh well, better break out the old soldering iron and start the harvest. Thanks for the reply.

Cherry mx blacks were not ordered from 7bit, that's why I didn't send any.
In fact it's 7bit that ordered blacks from "us", so I'm assuming the GH60 portion of blacks are with TJ.

[pexon]

Got my PCB in the other day. Got it all soldered up, but I am having some issues and I am just wondering if anyone else is having them. The m, k, i and 8 keys are not working at all. I've resoldered multiple switches in, the diodes are all in the correct position, but I can get them to work 

It looks like you're using some old firmware. Which one is this and which version?
m, k, i and 8 is column 9 which changed mcu pin between rev. A and rev. B

Can you link me to the right firmware then please dude?

It's here: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50685.0
I hope this helps.

Perhaps I am being a complete and utter noob; I have ZERO programming experience, so probably I am. Flashed Rev 3 to it but it doesn't help the issue.

Anyone want to help me?

[KyesaRRi]

Sorry for not being around, the duration of this group buy almost made me forget about it completely.

[bueller]

Are the final revision gerber files still slated for release now that this is wrapping up? I really want to work on adding a function row to the GH60 PCB sometime in the near future...



Seriously, slap a winkey bottom row on that and I'd be in heaven.

[Matt3o]

quick update regarding the boards in US.

They are finally moving to a better place I mean to samwisekoi that will sort and ship to the proxies.

Hold tight.

[nubbinator]

Thanks for the US update.  It's good to hear.

[krbuck]

I missed this GB. I'd love to hear about any extras or anyone who wants to resell their PCB. Thanks!

[BunnyLake]

sorry i havent been through batch 6 yet

batch 6 is mainly the custom builds, so been waiting to get some info in place for that before contacting folks with options

everyone who replied late or hasnt replied in batch 1 - 5, i will be messaging you again some time this week

[LechnerDE]

Thanks for the update Bunny 

I am getting excited 'cause I am in batch 6 

Didn't Bluebar offer to help out with soldering? I guess it would make sense if he did a build for a fellow German so there are minimal shipping costs.

[SpAmRaY]

Will addresses and orders be verified for US recipients at some point and by who?

[BlueBär]

I did, and I could build more than just for Germans since shipping costs from Germany to EU are very cheap. I'm already in contact with Bunny.

Can I get an update on the unpaid orders that were taken over? I would like to receive my own order before soldering up others )

[vivalarevolución]

I think that I ordered a PCB in this buy.  I guess that I'll know when it shows up at my door one day.

[Wildcard]

I missed this GB. I'd love to hear about any extras or anyone who wants to resell their PCB. Thanks!

There's going to be a lot of extras floating around, I know I can hook you up as I ordered way to much. Just waiting at this point though.

Awesome; thanks!

[shoostep]

I would also like to jump in on a PCB.  If anyone is willing to let one go, let me know.

[tofgerl]

Same. Instead of us flooding the forum, could you put up a waiting list on google forms or something?

[jdcarpe]

Same. Instead of us flooding the forum, could you put up a waiting list on google forms or something?

Wait list? To fill from what? People who want to sell their orders once they receive them?

Best bet is simply to create a [WTB] thread in Classifieds. Not that anyone reads WTB threads...

[tofgerl]

To fill from people with extras, obviously. It's far better than 20-30 WTB threads!

[braidn]

Yup, would also love to see some kind of thread/form for people wanting to sell there extra PCBs. Would definitely be in for one.

[damorgue]

Great to finally see this GB moving again. Is there an ETA for the plates and stabs to Europe for those who elected to wait?

[Matt3o]

who is the first European who declared interest in purchasing one?

[sth]

hmm well, i MOVED to europe after ordering

Just add "CLICKCLACK" to the thread title

I'll get a big thread (similar to the GMK Spacebar Communal Trading Hub) set up once these start to ship more.     It will of course be subject to the same rules as the rest of Classifieds, so behave! 

[tofgerl]

Thank you!

I got the $20 alu plate from massdrop in the hopes of securing one of these plates, but there's no rush. I missed out on the GB, so I'm in the back of the line, I know that. But as long as there is a line, I'm happy to stand in it.

[krbuck]

I'm in *exactly* the same boat, but glad to wait a while. I suppose I can find a SPRiT board if there are not enough, but I'd prefer one of these.

[hellerbarde]

I received my PCB and I soldered it up and flashed it with firmware

Code: [Select]

ukbdc_gh60-0.2_rc2_std_layout.hex. Turns out the 8-i-k-m Column is dead. How can I debug this?

The microcontroller doesn't have any solder bridges and no lifted pins as far as I can see.

Update: obligatory product shot. For keyboard science...?


cheers

Whoops. I thought I had the very newest firmware. apparently not. Thanks a lot 

It works now, Yay!

Check my previous post for the picture

cheers!

[Prelim]

See komar's answer here: ...

Pexon also said before: "Flashed Rev 3 to it but it doesn't help the issue."

maybe some of the pcbs are just defective? :/

[hellerbarde]

See komar's answer here: ...

...

It's all good for me now. Typing this on my new GH60 and the i, k m and 8 seem to work.

[Hzza]

I've built three so far and had no problems with any of them using TMK (well, I can't get the caps LED working but I think that's probably my own coding deficiency than something wrong with the PCBs).

[jdcarpe]

The Easy AVR USB Keyboard Firmware and Keymapper by metalliqaz should also work great on Rev.B or Rev.C boards.

Let me know if you guys think this is OK.  I basically reused the same code that I wrote for bunny for the status website (which will probably be launched in the near future).

I am not sure of the official status details just yet.  We are working out the details right now of getting the information exposed via a similar website as the one I just launched.  Hold tight and we should have something for you soon^tm.

Ya, I have most of the hard parts built at this point, so I can easily reuse the code to build interesting functionality.

I think this could work well for interest checks and such.  I can limit the columns of the spreadsheet that are exposed, so we could even run GBs through this type of tool and only expose the contents of the orders and no personal information.  This would let people see what the status of the buy is and if we are close to MOQ and which options need a push and such.  I think this functionality could have a lot of uses for us as a community...

(trying not to de-rail too much)

But that would be perfect. One of the biggest issues i always have with GBs is the level of organization like that. How many are ordered/ How many to hit MOQ/ etc.  This would greatly improve that.

Awesome!    Definitely not against any rules on geekhack.    I'll get a thread up ASAP in Classifieds to incorporate this into.  I figure this will be a great tool to inventory sellers/buyers, and then we can use the existing geekhack infrastructure for communication.  You didn't have plans to increase the scope of your website to handle that aspect, did you?
