SR64-Keyboard-PCB

⚠️ Ideation phase - no actual content here.

Intent

A 64-key Hall Effect (HE) keyboard with QMK f/w, build on a GH60/Bakeneko PCB footprint.

Planned Features

• QMK build
• MCU STM32 of sorts. TBD.
• C3/4 UDB Usb-C, option
• Hotswap MX HE switches

Wish List

• .. just HE .. (See Possible BIG issues )

Possible BIG issues

• HE !!
  1. QMK does not have a native HE implementation
  2. ... one will need to be built
  3. In this build - how do we address individual switch calibration?
     • Idea: Dynamicly keep a list of MIN & MAX read values and program the code to be based on percentage values of each key's MIN MAX. Dynamically update those values over usage for a "self calibration" feature. But ... how do we manage:
       1. age
       2. default values at startup
       3. EEPROM retention may be adverse on storage longevity
  4. For future ref., see how others have done it:
     • Keychron: https://github.com/Keychron/qmk_firmware/tree/hall_effect_playground/keyboards/keychron
       • Calibration is assumed as they only use one brand of switch
     • @RephlexZero: https://github.com/RephlexZero/qmk_firmware/tree/moonboard/keyboards/rephlex/moonboard
       • Have not researched how they calibrate
• Is the 0.25U offset ZXCVBN row personally off-putting? [Irrelevant 😄 ]
