Title: EKS 1000 Amiga keyboard Oct Update
Post by: Phantominterrogative on Mon, 11 October 2021, 15:47:04

With chip shortages, is there an alternative to atmega32u4 that is readily available?

Cool! So it's going to be a USB keyboard and not something Amiga-compatible then?

I'v considered to use STM32 but it was out of stock until next year.
I switched to RPi Pico (RP2040 MCU) but qmk did not support it. I ported qmk to the MCU myself.

It will be a USB keyboard useable with any PC/Mac; however, I will be looking into adaptors to use it with real Commodore Amigas.
