Kretsträd, which I guess means "circuitry" in Norwegian, is a wireless split by jw aka wj-zhe.
The starting point for the design was the Sweep, the author's first build, but columns under litter finger "was far too low to reach". Besides, he wanted a wireless one to use on multiple devices.
Specs
- 34 keys per half
- Seeeduino XIAO BLE controller
- stacked case with all plates made from acrylic
- LIR2032 coin cells should work in the author's opinion for 4-5 days
For those who are interested in PCB files, I'll share them with you guys, but not before battery durability test is done and design flaws are corrected.
And for those who are interested in the XIAO competition, check out the rules.
