I’m an Australian based Data Engineer, who enjoys making sub-40% custom keyboards.

  • Great point. We use this for our solution design docs, and to display the final star schema in our dbt models that we then embed within our dbt docs. Given we use dbt for our warehouse, we don’t need to worry about the create table statements.

  • I’d never heard of it. Then my first encounter was in a company where someone had built a Python abstraction layer over the top to ‘make it easy’ and it just turned into a mess. But when done well, it’s much better!

  • Tesla Has The Highest Accident Rate Of Any Auto Brand

    Jump

  • While I love to jump on the anti-Elon bus, I have to query: the highest accident rates, or highest accident rates as a percentage of vehicles on the road? If you have 10 Tesla cars on the road, and there are 2 MGs on the road, and 2 Telsas and one MG crashes, then what? 20% of Tesla vs. 50% of MG, but also that could be framed as ‘double the number of Teslas crash compared to MGs’ or ‘Tesla has the highest accident rate of any auto brand’.

  • It’s running on 2x BlackPills, with hotswap sunset orange switches. The two halves are connected by an ultra thin CAT6 patch cable. It’s the first keyboard I’ve built with backlights, so quite happy that it worked as planned.

  • The pain of realising you got your PCB wrong, and need to use two pins earmarked for the LCD for the TX & RX to allow the sides to communicate :-(

    Jump

  • It took a while to get used to them (like a day or two). But I’ve been using them on keyboards for a couple of years now, and it feels strange to not have them.

    Jump

  • True. I’ve not yet added any code to manage the per key RGB. Hopefully they all work as planned too.

  • They are custom angled risers I got printed. They fit between the switch and the keycap.

  • Oh that’s an interesting thought. All might not be lost after all! I’ll need to investigate.

  • Hoping for guidance on custom split QMK using Blackpill

    Jump

  • Blackpill is defined within qmk already. You can do a search in the repo for STM32F401 and see a number of keyboards that use it. From this, you can also see which are split keyboards. The M60 Split is a good example which uses a SPLIT_HAND_PIN to define left and right. The Phoenix is another. This also uses the SPLIT_HAND_PIN. Given that, I've tried updating, but no luck. If SPLIT_KEYBOARD = yes then nothing works. If SPLIT_KEYBOARD = no then they work but they both come through as the left side (even if SPLIT_HAND_PIN B9 is set, and B9 is connected to GND or not).

  • Ah, thank you. I’ll have a go at that then.

  • Are you referring to the #define MASTER_LEFT?

    This is just defining whether the USB is plugged into the left board or right board.

    All defines start with a hash as standard. It’s not commenting the line out. For that, you’d use //.

  • In 2023 which would you choose for a Linux phone and why: Phosh oder GNOME Shell mobile?

    Jump

  • Yes. But if 90% of your friends use it, and have groups in it where things are planned and organised, then by not having it you’re going to be missing out on a big chunk of things going on around you.

  • In 2023 which would you choose for a Linux phone and why: Phosh oder GNOME Shell mobile?

    Jump

  • The challenge is that these days a phone is rarely used for calls or texts, but used with apps like WhatsApp or Teams or Slack or your mobile banking app, or things like that. And so there would need to be a critical mass of these apps to get me to switch.

  • PCB Designed!

  • I’m assuming you downloaded an stl of the switches and the controller? Where did you dl them from?

  • Thank you. Yeah, the shape is a mix of convex and concave. I might need to just make do for this prototype.
