Design files for the atreus62 keyboard

Atreus62 components can be purchased from the online store.

This keyboad is inspired by the original atreus keyboard.

This version utilizes a Pro Micro for its controller and has a 62 key layout.

atreus62's Issues

Struggling to flash firmware

I realize GH is probably not the best place for this but here I go anyway.

I am using a promicro clone from here https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012FOV17O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am not able to flash my modified firmware nor the default firmware onto the board using avrdude on a mac. (I have also tried avrdudess on my windows machine at work to similar effect)

I run the following command

$ avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P /dev/cu.usbmodem1421 -c avr109 -U flash:w:atreus62_default.hex

and the output is like so

Connecting to programmer: .
Found programmer: Id = "CATERIN"; type = S
    Software Version = 1.0; No Hardware Version given.
Programmer supports auto addr increment.
Programmer supports buffered memory access with buffersize=128 bytes.

Programmer supports the following devices:
    Device code: 0x44

avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions

avrdude: read from file 'atreus62_default.hex' failed

avrdude: safemode: Fuses OK (E:CB, H:D8, L:FF)

avrdude done.  Thank you.

This is my first build and in my naivete I went ahead and soldered the board to the wiring before programmimg it. I was initially certain that I had just gotten a melon board, but I've bought 2 other boards and had the same issues (So the problems is probably me)

I would really appreciate help on this.

build guide does not mention reset switch

Hi, the build guide does not mention the reset switch listed as one of the electronic components in the store. It is obvious what to do with the switch, like it just plugs in by hand? Thank you for your beautiful keyboards. Can't wait to put one together.

Case files not matching with the PCB

I noticed that the case files do not match with the PCB files. The PCB is alright but the seems like it's not scaled right + you cannot fit switches in the switch plate with the current dimensions.

trouble finding `/dev/tty*` port with a macbook pro (usb-c)

I had some trouble finding the correct tty port. I'm using a macbook pro which has usb-c ports.

background/context

• I ordered mine prebuild so the micro controller was already programmed.
• Since the macbook has usb-c ports I'm using an apple usb dongle

Here's how I found the correct tty port.

• First, flip the keyboard over and use a paperclip to hit keyboards reset button.
• Then, you have ~8 seconds where the micro controller is viewable using ls /dev/tty*. After 8 seconds it's no longer viewable. In my case it appears as /dev/tty.usbmodem14411

BTW, feel free to close this issue. I'm only sharing because it wasn't immediately obvious to me and I thought others may find this helpful.

KC_LCAP does not seem to working as expected

Hi there. Just got my keyboard yesterday, everything seem to working fine except when I'm remapping the layouts (adding caps lock key (layer 0), lock caps lock (layer 1)) and keyboard's behaving like this

Current layout

Geometry differences between case and PCB

I noticed that the PCB distance between keys from one side to another is slightly different on the PCB and the case. I checked this by measuring the distance between the middle of the upper left key center and the upper right key center.

Case: 221.648mm
PCB: 223.980mm

I assume it all works when cut and PCBs are generated because the difference is very small. Is it by design? If not would it be worth taking the time to match them? I think the case geometry is more "correct" and the solution is to move PBC key centers to match?

Happy to go ahead and do the work and submit an MR if it makes sense, let me know.

Screws and nuts?

Hey @profet23, I'm starting to buy stuff to build my first atreus62. I'm printing the case for my first run, but don't see any mention of screw size you're using. Any help here?

Case layer thickness

For the walnut boards you are making what thickness are you cutting each of the case layers?

CAD-files are cut off

Looking to print out an Atreus62 and when I tried to use the cad files available I saw that they were cut off, only displaying one half.

Is it possible to fix these or make a DXF-file available for all layers?
Thanks!

Any way to add WS2812b support? Multiplex a pin?

It appears all pins on the pro micro are used for the key matrix. Have you done any builds or mods to support RGB anywhere (like a WS2812b)? I am new to QMK and wasnt sure if the matrix scanning code could support pin multiplexing without impacting the matrix scanning code. Any ideas or am I out of luck?
