*** Step 1: Creating the rows
|
||||
Using the copper wire you solder each row together, notice how the thumb-part gets its own
|
||||
row. If you take a close look you can see how I did do a messy job soldering, I had to redo
|
||||
some of the parts because they wouldn't be stable enough. Do this for both sides. Which ones of
|
||||
some of the parts because they weren't soldered properly. Do this for both sides. Which ones of
|
||||
the pins you chose for the row doesnt matter, but for it to look clean you should decide for
|
||||
either one of them

The next step is to create the columns by soldering the diodes. Notice which way these diodes
|
||||
are directed here, the way these diodes are directed, we have to have a firmware that "drives
|
||||
the rows". (TODO: insert diagram here) Luckily in our firmware "ergodox-firmware" we have the
|
||||
option that adapts to that. However if you want to try and use the "tmk_keyboard" firmware
|
||||
which seems to be also interesting you want to wire the diodes the other way. This way the
|
||||
"columns are driving". As a side note, for some reason the tmk_keyboard firmware things of rows
|
||||
as columns and the other way around, so if you look through the source code it will also see
|
||||
"drive rows", even though that means "driving columns".
|
||||
*** Step 2: Create the columns
|
||||
The next step is to create the columns by soldering the diodes.
|
||||
|
||||
Notice which way these diodes are directed here. First of all, they are all wired with the
|
||||
black part towards the switch, it is important that you follow that pattern for all of the
|
||||
switches. The end where that color-mark is denotes the direction of the diode. The way these
|
||||
diodes are directed, we have to have a firmware that "drives the rows", which means the
|
||||
electricity can go from the column through the pressed switch through the row, but not the
|
||||
other way around (TODO: insert diagram here to explain this further).

|
||||
"driving columns".
|
||||
|
||||
The tmk_keyboard firmware could also be used for this kind of wiring, but it would have to be
|
||||
rewritten, maybe in a beautiful way, such that it can also "drive rows". However I didnt go

Everything necessary for that really is the following circuit diagram
