Let's Design A Keyboard With Ergogen v4

Howdy Lemmy! 👋 Earlier this year I wrote a series of blog posts about the Ergogen keyboard layout generator. It’s a great tool for quickly prototyping new keyboard layouts. If you’ve ever been curious about what’s involved with developing a mechanical keyboard from scratch, these posts can hopefully give you an idea of what you’re in for.

The series covers:

• An overview of Ergogen itself.
• Defining the layout of your keyboard.
• Outlining the shape of your board.
• Populating your PCB with footprints and defining nets.
• Adding external footprints and designing a basic 3D printed case.
• KiCAD routing basics, and resources for firmwares and assembly.

I hope y’all don’t mind the Reddit repost! It’s nice to see the community take off here on the Fediverse!
