Split wireless keyboard PCB based on the Sofle Choc keyboard

soflechocwireless's Issues

Can I use kailh/mx style switches and sockets?

I'm currently building a sofle rgb, but really like the look of this model and can see myself migrating to wireless eventually and am thinking about what parts I can re-use. I'm not that sadistic enough to de-solder everything to attach to this but would be cool to move the switches at least over (kailh speed silver)

Running into issue getting niceview to work on right half

Kind of issue?
HELP!

What steps have you taken

• I have searched the Issues page
• I have read the documentation
• I have swapped displays on each half to make sure they are both functional
• I have reset both halves to ensure display bug from docs isn't an issue

What is the issue?
I have built a version of the sofle choc wireless and have been using it successfully for a few months now (Love it so far!). I built a version with no rotary encoders and no rgb. I originally only installed a niceview on the left side. I am now trying to set up the niceview on the right side as well and I am unable to get it to work. I read the build guide and used the example config for the niceviews from your docs. Here is the config I have uploaded https://github.com/yoxalld/zmk-config-soflechocwireless. I'm not sure if I have missed a detail in the config or if there is some other issue.I can't see any issues with connections on board but have added photos for reference just in case. The board still functions normally, just can't get the display on the right half to work. Any insight or guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for all your work on this project!

What you expected vs. what you observed:

• Expected new display to function after flashing new firmware vs. Display on right half stays blank.

Schematic parity to PCB

The PCB and the schematic in this repo are not in sync, so attempting to modify the schematic and have it reflected correctly in the PCB may result in problems on the PCB. As of right now, the PCB itself is perfectly fine and produces valid gerbers that can be sent for manufacturing, but for those wishing to customize the design of this board, they should be aware that the schematic would need to be brought into sync with the PCB first in order for schematic changes to be correctly reflected on the PCB.

Enhance: Add .dwg Bottom/Top Plates for Acrylic Manufacturer Service

What feature would you like to see?
I want this fantastic keyboard supports transparent acrylic bottom/top plates in order to display the inner structure of the keyboard while providing sufficient protection to the PCB. Acrylic Plates are also cheaper than FR4 PCBs, so I would appreciate that it can be supported.

Are you prepared to help?
I am willing to do this. I Opened a PR that contains related files and have been verified by myself. Please let me know if any information is required.

By the way, this repo is really a nice work. Thank you for you contributions~

SK6812 mini-e on 3.3V

Hi! I was wondering how you manage to make the LEDs work on 3.3V? On the datasheet, their working voltage is 3.7V to 5.5V. Nice project BTW :)

Status update

What feature would you like to see?

Hello! Was looking around for wireless split keyboards, found your repo, and noted that it's still in prototype state. Have there been any issues that you've found, or is it ready for wider consumption? I'm happy to tinker with it knowing that there may be issues that need worked around, just curious if there was anything pending or if I should give it a shot. Thanks!

Are you prepared to help?
Bare in mind that we are also hobbiests, and built boards to our own requirements.
We are currently using them without issue, so development is going to be slow, and only where we can see benefit, or are already making compatible changes. The quickest way to get the features you want is to do them yourself.

yes!

What is this repo?

the readme doesn't explain the difference over sofle choc found in the official sofle repo. The explanation would help to grasp the difference at the first glance.

Now I'm guessing it's just for the firmware? Or did the physical side also change?

Add Firmware

Thanks for all the work you have done on this, I have just built this keyboard and it's absolutely awesome! I am having some trouble with firmware though.

What feature would you like to see?
I would like to see zmk firmware files also in this repo. An example that is specific to this keyboard and includes all the necessary files to get up and running.
Have a config that includes all features

• underglow rgb
• nice!view and oled support
• rotary support (looks like getting both to work can be tricky)

Are you prepared to help?
From your pictures, it looks like you have a working build so I don't feel this is too big of an ask. But please let me know otherwise and I am happy to help. I could edit the readme/build guide to have an updated section for the firmware
