### Generating a Design
|
|
|
|
**Setting up the Clojure environment**
|
|
* (Download and install the Clojure runtime)[https://clojure.org]
|
|
* (Download and install the Leiningen project manager)[http://leiningen.org/]
|
|
* (Download and install OpenSCAD)[http://www.openscad.org/]
|
|
|
|
**Generating the design**
|
|
* Run `lein repl`
|
|
* Load the file `(load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj")`
|
|
* This will regenerate the `things/*.scad` files
|
|
* Use OpenSCAD to open a `.scad` file.
|
|
* Make changes to design, repeat `load-file`, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
|
|
* When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files
|
|
|
|
**Tips**
|
|
* Some other ways to evaluate the clojure design file - http://stackoverflow.com/a/28213489

|
### Printing
|
|
Pregenerated STL files are available in the [things/](things/) directory.
|
|
|
|
### Wiring
|
|
Masks for the flexible PCBs I used are available for the [left](resources/pcb-left.svg) and [right](resources/pcb-right.svg) side.
|
|
|
|
A [very rough guide for the brave is here](guide/README.md) - It will be improved over time (**TODO**)!
