- rev3 tested, minor issues fixed in
- firmware for QMK was updated to newest version, can be found here
- ZMK firmware pending
- rev3 case available - yet I dislike it in its current state.
The third iteration introduced a complete redesign of the pcb primarily to accommodate the RP2040 and BAV70 diodes.
I tried creating a circular positioning pattern for the components where their center is set with the mcu itself. Due to reposition of every component I rerouted the whole board again; also because Endeavour V¹ was one of my first designs and you can tell it was. A new silkscreen for both front and back of the pcb sets a different theme and clutters the whole board with ASCII-rubbish. This came into my mind because any actual drawing or pattern idea I had was blocked by my miserable ability to create art.
A new case accompanies this revision. Its not entirely done neither am I satisfied with its look and design. My abilities with CAD are limited and I lack the endurance ( will to use Windows or learn an alternative software) and time to make a better one or to create an actual good / decent design.
Nevertheless my current process is shared in this folder. I've tested the case with a previous rev pcb and could verify that its mostly working. The new case utilizes tadpole mount of some sort hence I ought to write a build guide.
For the previous versions of the PCB and Case look at the folders below:
- support for two encoders ( top left)(bottom row middle)
- RP2040
- 3 IO Pins exposed via breakout
- pinout for led-strip (WS28 and similarly supported)
- QMK / VIAL support ( zmk should be possible too )
- different layout options
- new case with tadpole mount
Those are only renders, however I've printed a small test version already.
