# Hardware To Do / Notes
|
|
|
|
## Tidbit
|
|
|
|
- Setup to use oled same way as original
|
|

|
|
## Lilly's
|
|
|
|
- Convert to nice!nano boards
|
|
- Convert to have encoder on each side
|
|
- Use 14500 battery setup
|
|
- Consider adding smallest track pad as well as encoders ; maybe mid sized depending on thumb cluster spacing
|
|
|
|
## Pocket Type
|
|
|
|

|
|
- ItsyBitsy lipo backpack
|
|
- pins like nice!nano for quick swap of battery / removal of battery
|
|
- 110mAh battery
|
|
- soldered to short mill max socket for hot swap / removal from lipo backpack
|
|

|
|
|
|
# Generating settings reset images
|
|
|
|
west build --board nice_nano -d build/settings_reset -- -DSHIELD=settings_reset
|
|

# VS Code Documentation
|
|
|
|
- Command Pallet -> Run Task -> npm -> Shows list of npm build tasks for the docs
|
|
- code @ the container command line will open a file directly within code on the main machine
|
|
|
|
# Dyanmic Layer Actions
|
|
|
|
- look at hold tap implementation for inspiration (keymap file poprtion)
|
|
|
|
- hooks for BOTH activate and de-activate
|
|
|
|
- change underglow color
|
|
- fire key press
|
|
|
|
|
|
keymap {
|
|
compatible = "zmk,keymap";
|
|
|
|
default_layer {
|
|

# Workspace documentation
|
|
|
|
finalize devcontainer-setupworkspace branch, may have existing PR open
|
|
|
|
# Mouse Keys
|
|
|
|
- see keymap for codes
|
|
- constant movement / accellerated option
|
|
- default accel mode (standard if unspecified)
|
|
- default speed mode (standard if unspcified)
|
|
- key code for changing accel mode (slow/standard/fast)
|
|
- key code for changing speed mode (slow/standard/fast)
|
|
- constant speed code that will momentarily activate constant speed motion
|
|
- accell speed code that will momentarily activate accell speed motion
|
|
- toggle to flip between constant and accell modes

@innovaker what would it take to add mouse keys?

Hi @fischkopp, I don't believe we've spoken before?
|
|
1. Implement a mouse report (I've already done some groundwork for that).
|
|
2. Determine appropriate behaviours and implement them.
|
|
3. Investigate into whether the current peripheral-to-central communication channels provide the necessary prerequisites, and if not, improve it.
|
|
4. Probably need to implement a system that sits in-between the behavior and the reports which caters for inputs from multiple sources and amalgamates them. I've been told this is a vital aspect that can be easily overlooked.
|
|
It's fairly easy to hack out a proof-of-concept for this, but trickier to engineer the system(s) we should be aiming for.
|
|
Are you looking to get involved?

Most of the steps require consideration of the big picture (because this is effectively a new type of input that we haven't built around yet, so we consider how it all fits together), but if you want to get a head start and make a prototype that would be really useful.

my understanding is that it's the multiple inputs to single output + acceleration which are the complicating factors

there's only one pointer output - with axes X and Y

but there could be numerous inputs to that, both sensors (controls) and keys which could need unifying

and you're doing binary to linear conversion using a stateful system that requires "natural" acceleration to feel right

so effectively a curve (perhaps even with a degree of hysteresis? I don't know)

if we had a working prototype to iterate on, it would make it easier to nail down those aspects and design/implement the necessary prerequisites into ZMK.

I doubt the naive solution of "hold UP to make Y increase at a constant rate" would be practical from what others have told me, but that's probably the first objective/target to shoot for. It would give us a better vantage point for moving forward.

there are also others interested in this area, so if you break ground then I'll give them a shout so that they can be involved if they want to be |
