I just finished building my first DIY keyboard! Cheapino
(lemmy.world)
This is the first time I built a keyboard!
A cheapino!
It took a little bit of time to get everything figured out, but I was able to finish that build relatively easily.
However, I am having trouble customizing the layout... I can't load it in the qmk.fm tool and when I upload a json file it gives me something that doesn't match my keyboard.
Also, the encoder currently types 'y' when turned right, I got 2 thumb keys working as spaces and I don't have a modifier key.
As far as I can tell, everything is soldered right, the diodes are in the right direction...
Did I mess up my soldering or is the cheapino firmware buggy?
Any app that can help me flash/customize my keyboard? I'll keep googling.
Thanks!
Ah! I just recompiled, used your encoder config and the Henrik keymap, it is almost perfect.
Many thanks, the keyboard works really well now and I'll be modifying the keymap to my needs, it's already so close to what I need!
I'll move the NUM layer key to the left so I can enter numbers without lifting my mouse hand. :D
Cool! I'm happy it actually helped you :)
