I am a 40%keyboard fan from China.
Especially love the Atreus designed by Phil Hagelberg,About 2 years ago,after I asked the designer Phil Hagelberg for his approval,I started make my own Atreus keyboard
like
Atreus Ver.Kimera﹡(
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=80383)
Atreus2tap(42 program keys,base on pro micro,but use independent USB mini)
Atreus2tap+(except for 62 program keys other like Atreus2tap)
Atreus62 Ver.Kimera﹡(with 16RGB on the bottom of PCB.In fact it have a control wheel,so it has totly 64 program keys,and have a 2x key can be split base on my own usage habit.Its also first time I try 3D pritnt case).
After trying these kinds of similar Atreus layout,I design this keyboard according to my own usage.It will be the final version of my Atreus keyboards.
Here is profile:
1.AKB48(Atreus Keyboard 48,just a coincidence) base on Phil Hagelberg’s Atreus,I design this layout according to my own usage. The case is carbon fibre and acrylic sandwich case with a diffuser plate in second bottom(all my keyboard use carbon fibre and acrylic sandwich case because it cheap and convenience to me.)
2.The pcb designed by yangdigi,both the software and hardware.The pcb use 32U2 as controller,firmware is “litetmk”(which has streamlined and enhanced base on TMK by yangdigi, and focusing on the user experience, It's not all done yet),it support most 8 layers.
3.Use YD Keymap Builder to programm, the visualize builder support direct push a button on your keyboard corresponding to edit, also support using the mouse to choose from the alternative buttons, FN, multimedia, and the light only supports with the mouse to choose from the alternative buttons.
4.It has a very funny mode named “fire mode”,which can setup in YD Keymap Builder.Current support Numbers 0 to 9 and letter A to Z, left mouse button, F5, etc. After setting up, hold down the key, and the actual effect will be to click the key continuously. Maybe some app or game will need it,it can be set up in a single layer.
5.This keyboard flash by optimized “flash drive Bootloarder”:
(1)Edit the firmware at YD Keymap Builder online and download a .bin file.
(2)Press ESC when the keyboard plugged in to a computer, the computer will appear a flash drive called AKB48 and two 1.5x keys led will start blinking, copy the (1)download .bin file into the flash drive and cover the old file, right-click pop-up flash drive or press ESC to exit the flash mode.
(3)If want change the layer,you can re-enter bl and upload the .Bin file into YD Keymap Builder to change it.
(4)tip:This “flash drive Bootloarder” is not really a flash drive, so don't try to keep a few small secrets inside.
6.The PCB bottom have 15 RGB Led ,totly have 25 light modes and continue to increase.
﹡Kimera core is some kind of keyboard controller use atmel 32U4 microcontroller and two I/O controllers. both the software and hardware are design by kai1103 ,the software is written base on Tmk frame.
