Title: Hey hey!
Post by: Nightlane on Thu, 16 October 2014, 09:09:39
Helo,

I am from Canary Islands, now working in Madrid (Spain). From childhood I have liked computers, circuits, etc.

I did computer science on college and now I am working as a coder.

I have done, long ago in the past, some things in trainers, have burn a pair of pcbs in the old ways (acid and later light), etc. My father have much to say here as he is a master electrician (whichever it is said in english) and I have helped him in the electric design of some layers needed for the automation of a nativity scene, creating the controller for step-by-step motors by example.

Now I want to return to do some DIY proyects, like a keyboard, home automation and the like, and so I will need to learn somethings that I did not learned in those days.

In all cases I am a bit lazy at home after all the day working... @#$#%@!$$%#!%... so this will be taken with patience and time...

Other subjects I want to learn is how is built a multilayer pcb, and about CI design...

Welcome to Geekhack!

A little bit of everything by the sound of it :)

There are several keyboard kits available, GH60 and Ergo Dox spring to mind.  Plenty to keep you busy for a while.

Ty!

Those kits sounds good, I like that GH60 but I would like to have one with some modifications... I am going to start one or more threads to try to get some responses and see how far I can go...

The GH60 was designed to be customisable - you can pretty much go as far as you want!

Yeah, I have examined it a bit. I can use it as a base. I want to add a better backlit control and add mouse capabilities...

So I will need to get some doubts resolved before taking any decision...
