PICCTRL 0xLM A split ortholinear keyboard with on-board MCU: PICCTRL - 0xLM by Lluis Merlos Pieri .
KBD.news Published May 2, 2024
Lluis Merlos Pieri aka SRgrezz/llmerlos shared PICCTRL 0xLM , a split ortho with thumb arcs and on-board CH559L MCU.
I wanted to make a compact keyboard by using the minimum surface for the keys with all the components underneath them while no increasing the height of the overall keyboard.
Specs
42 keys (6x3+3 per half)
Choc V1 spacing
CH559L FAK powered
Direct pin with ESD and over-current protection (schematic )
3D printed case
PCBA ready*
Some known issues: USB part is a bit misplaced and requires trimming the legs, it is for 0.8mm PCB instead of 1.6mm PCB.
