Title: I wrote a complement to “A modern hand wiring guide”
Post by: Janzon on Mon, 23 July 2018, 11:06:16

Me and some friends over at the Swedish mechanical keyboard discord server ( http://mekaniskatangentbord.se/ ) recently did our first hand wired keyboards using this awesome guide cribbit wrote: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87689.0

There were however three things that weren’t 100 % clear to us after reading it: which pins that can be used on the microcontroller, how the wiring from the matrix to the microcontroller works and how to use your hand wired keyboard with an existing QMK keyboard layout. So I typed out some pointers on those three areas, and I hope that it can help some other people as well!

You can read the guide here:

Any feedback, corrections and suggestions for improvement are welcome!

If you're dealing with Pro Micro from China be aware they usually don't solder J1, which can cause problems (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=96689.0).
