Batarang Armored The Batarang Armored version by Protieusz is a column staggered monoblock split with RP2040, Cirque trackpad, encoder, and glowing eyes.
KBD.news Published August 9, 2023
Here is another of my keeb, the Batarang Armored version. A column staggered layout with 40mm cirque trackpad, EC11 encoder with 35mm knob and RGB LED strips – Protieusz.
The author used this simple hack to control pieces of a LED strip (the eyes) using a microcontroller running on 3.3 volts. This single diode hack can output 4.3v logic by using a sacrificial RGB.

Gerber files have been uploaded but J2 connectors need time to fix. But the solder pads to connect the Cirque trackpad are all working.
