I did it waaay back there in 2019. Also wrote that T60 can be cut in half to the size of Pro Micro.
Keyboard: crkbd Trackpoint: R61
Firmware: Initially used @manna-harbour's just for debugging the trackpoint.
# right
sudo make crkbd:manna-harbour:dfu-split-right MH_MODULE=trackpoint MH_AUTO_BUTTONS=yes LTO_ENABLE=yes MH_DEBUG=yes
# left
sudo make crkbd:manna-harbour:dfu-split-left MH_MODULE=oled MH_DEBUG=yes LTO_ENABLE=yes OLED_ENABLE=yes
My current firmware (WIP) is at rfong/shibui.
Build logs:
Trackpoint module currently faces left but the mount placement was done a bit hastily. Will probably move it down to align with home row and bring it in closer when I redo the acrylic cover.
Hi,
I'm in the middle of planning an "embedded" trackpoint controller board support to my variation on crkbd. I've added the driver board electronics as SMT components similarly to the buzzard and would like to connect the controller board to the PCB to the right of the thumb cluster (increase the right side PCB just a little bit). This way I won't have to play around with too much rewiring (I think).
However, I'm unsure how to actually connect the controller board to the keyboard PCB. I thought of soldering right angle pins over the pads between the controller board and sensor module, this way I could at least socket the controller board. I'm just afraid it would be too flimsy and hard to solder.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
Not strictly a "hotswap trackpoint build", but very much inspired by it so thought I'd share it here :)
If you build a hotswap trackpoint and would like to share it, please add a single comment to this issue (and edit the comment with updates rather than adding a new comment). Provide a summary of the keyboard, trackpoint, and firmware used, any changes made, and links to any published build details or firmware changes.
