After wiring 4 custom keyboards myself (Atreus family on 2xTeensy and 2xPro Micro), I decided to challenge myself and was looking to a way to wire a micro controller to match 1:1 the DZ60 PCB.
The final plan is to be able to run the QMK build command :
make dz60:default:avrdude
...and have my keyboard recognized and updated as a real DZ60.
For the
DZ60 config file, it looks like it's a 5x15 matrix (20 IO pins) so it's doable.
I just need to find a good micro controller (Pro Micro only have 18 pins).
Any obvious micro controller for this kind of project?
Am I missing something big ? Will standard 60% case be large enough for micro controller ?
Of course, I don't care about lighting. I just want to buy plate and case. Just that it's a new kind of layout for me. I want to avoid surprises.
A big thanks in advance !
