All those switches are connected to an electric board and on that board you put the chip that controls everything. If you purchased their modified version, you have to use the firmware provided by the vendor and the build guide provided by them as well. Disconnect the USB cable. Dont overtighten the screws when assembling the acrylic plates as they might crack. I relied on several online resources to learn about what goes into building a keyboard, the basic equipment needed, and the firmware pieces necessary for it all to work. the TRRS cable to connect the two halves while the microcontroller is also plugged in and powered. Insert switches into the plate. I could assure you that Yes, not only that I learned a lot but my wrist pain has gone away! TRS should work 1 if you stick with Serial. I aggregate that information here to help serve as a reference for others planning to give it a shot! This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. The diodes are mounted on the back side of the board. Make sure they are flush with PCB and match the orientation shown on the silkscreen. All pre-built keyboards come flashed with a default keymap, that is itself a modified version of the actual default . The ProMicro board may not be soldered and attached firmly. Carefully snap the first switches to the sockets. Connect both halves together with TRRS cable. and has the the following additional features. Raw Blame. When attaching with a spring pin header (con-through), solder it according to the method described in the Helix build guide and then attach it to the Lily 58 PCB. Dont force it to enter, otherwise you risk to end up with a broken socket/PCB pad like on the photo below. The following two datasheet excerpts show two versions of the led with different numbering pattern. You'll want a PCB kit (hotswap or through hole) and Plate Kit (FR4 plates) for a full kit The plates are made of PCB material. You have one little switch for each key and on top it, you put a keycap. 2, This can be changed, look for setting handednesss in QMK documentation. 10 x 7mm Brass Standoffs (MX Normal Profile) OR 5mm Brass Standoffs (Choc Low Profile), 58 x Kailh Hotswap Sockets (MX Normal Profile) OR Choc Low Profile Sockets (Choc Low Profile), 2 x Pro Micro Controllers (Comes with Headers to Direct Attach), 2 x 40 Pin Machined Breakable Female Header (Enable Controller Hot Swap). Given the context I've presented in the previous section, I chose some parts that fit the most my requirements: build on top of open-source hardware and software so I could modify it; move to ortholinear split keyboard layout; size around 60% and use MX-like tactile switches. This behavior can be switched programmatically without any problem. The QMK Toolbox can be used to write non-customized keymaps via a GUI, avoiding the need to configure a local QMK environment. Lily58 or Kyria) you want to create a configuration for. If the orientation is incorrect, the key will not respond. However, because it shares the exact same process as the Kyria, you can follow the build steps of the Kyria Build Guide. (The sockets can also be held in place by hand, but please take extra care not to burn yourself.) Lily58 Pro Build Guide; How to add Lily58 RGB underglow backlighting; How to add Rotary Encoders to Lily58 Pro Guide; Build photos are for demonstration purpose only. The Lily58 is a 58 key split keyboard design by kata0510, featuring a 6x4 columnar stagger and 4 thumb cluster keys on each hand. Additionally, if there isn't enough solder, please re-solder. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. The front sides marked by pieces of tape in order to remember which side is which. If you plan to build one you can fall As you can see the list of components could be a little overwhelming if you are not in this world. In addition, please be careful, as the case will be scratched if it hits or rubs a hard thing after assembly. Below you can find some photos taken during the process of bui lding it and the final product. There are several ready-made consumer options out there like the ZSA Moonlander and Dygma Raise but both are relatively pricey for a keyboard, selling for over $350. Thank you for your hard work. Sofle keyboard uses QMK Firmware and support for the board is part of the main QMK repository. Using the base pattern is the only consistent pattern between at least two different models with different pin 1 definitions and markings. Sockets for switches belong again on the back side, the same side as diodes. Carefully snap the first switches to the sockets. Follow. 10 are going to hold the bottom and the top together. By default your left half is the master and the right is the slave, but you can change that in QMK later if you desire to have the USB cable connected to the right half. Comes with FR4 (PCB material) plate case, hardware, and transparent acrylic OLED covers. They are easy to break. This is how the backside (bottom) should look at this stage. After mounting the plate, push the switches again to make sure that installation is complete. Depending on the color and release date, some parts may differ, but there is no difference in operation. Peel off the protective plastic layer covering the acrylic, and attach the acrylic to the board. Clone/download the QMK firmware and execute the following in the qmk_firmware directory to write the default Lily58L keymap. Second, I own more mechanical keyboards (keeb) than my pocket desires. Apply preliminary solder (melt a small amount on the substrate) on one pad of the PCB diode. Build as usual. Connect the left and right sides with a TRRS cable, connect the MicroUSB cable to ProMicro on the left side (in the case of the default key map), and check if the key responds. keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/pcbs/71/lily58l-split-keyboard-pcb?utm_campaign=about&utm_source=github&utm_medium=social, keycapsss.com/keyboard-parts/pcbs/71/lily58l-split-keyboard-pcb?utm_campaign=About&utm_source=Github&utm_medium=Social, 2 solid panels, 2 with holes for switches. After that, holding gently the socket down with the tweezers solder the corresponding side. Version 1: Make sure you insert them into the holes which are marked by the rectangles. Lily58 Pro build feedback. , As an advice, to build your firmware use a virtualized environment because QMK depends on a bunch of system libraries with specific versions that may not match your system. Serial is the default behaviour. and here is the final product . With a bit more solder than usual on the tip solder down another diode leg and pad. into a rabbit hole while choosing parts, you only have to visit the Mechanical Keyboard subreddit to realize that. Theres also a basic support in QMK Configurator but theres no encoder or led support. I've owned and used a Ducky (2012 model) mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches for several years now, but have rarely used it for prolonged typing sessions. The RGB version has dedicated build guide. I was not able to get 7mm, but 6mm worked well for me with MX switches. Button and TRRS sockets belong to the top. The above picture is from the crkbd guide shows pin 4 on the table (the table is viewed from the top of the LED). SofleRGB uses QMK firmware, it can use any Sofle keymap. If you use QMK Configurator, you can create an original keymap on the browser without editing the keymap.c file. there are 58 switches so a ton of work to do. Attach the connector for the OLED, much like the TRRS jack above. And corresponding sockets (if used) on the front side of the board. All the process could be separated into 3 sections: 1) soldering electronic parts 2) Lubing the switches 3) putting all together. It may short out. Additional information. Soldering & Build difficulty: . Make sure you know which side you are working on, and dont make two left hand sides by mistake. LEAD TIME in FAQ Tab. The Pro version has color variations, and the photos in this build guide are are of the black version, but the white verison is functionally identical. Solder the 2x 12 Pin Headers provided with your controller on the top side of the PCB in the marked rectangle section. Was this long process worth it? Install the 4 spacers into the holes just below the pro micro, screw from the bottom. Solder with the diode wire always pointing in the direction of the arrow symbol drawn on the board (shown in the following figure). Then use tweezers to solder one side of the diode, using the pre-soldering to secure the diode. Lily58 Pro Build Guide; How to add Lily58 RGB underglow backlighting; How to add Rotary Encoders to Lily58 Pro Guide; Build photos are for demonstration purpose ONLY. I'll no doubt continue to iterate on the keymap I've shared above, but I think the itch is still there to meddle a bit more in this space and see what else I can do with the new set of tools and skills I've picked up. Suggested approach is to build the firmware yourself. I have also cleaned flux residue from the back side using some isopropyl alcohol, cotton buds and paper towels. Install the standoffs onto the switch plates. Thankfully it appears that the pad pattern underneath is consistent, so use it. Dont proceed to another half until youll fix it on this PCB, this way youll avoid repeating same mistake on the second half. The TRRS jack and the reset switch are mounted on the front side (the one with the sticker on the mark). Dependent what you use on the master half. The command might look something like this: Connect the second half and flash it in the same way as the previous one. Put all keycaps on top of the keyswitches, which are the plastic covers. One or more rows/columns of key switches do not respond, Q. quality lube. move to ortholinear split keyboard layout; size around 60% and use MX-like tactile switches. NOTE: The kits now includes an FR4 plate case. Luckily if you are interested in a custom keyboard but youre a little afraid of doing it there is a second-hand market in Reddit that has a lot of options on fully built keebs. If you wish to use per key lighting, you also need to short pins 1-2 of 5. ), How to customize using QMK Configurator (deprecated), 2 solid panels, 2 with holes for switches, MX switch and choc switches use separate connectors, Cable for 3.5 mmaudio, also called AUX cable (4-pole cable recommended), Magnetic connector recommended due to the low durability of the ProMicro socket. 4x12 pin header (and optionally socket) for Pro Micros. It is a modified version of the Lily58 Pro pcb from kata0510 and has the the following additional features. Decrease quantity for Lily58 Pro Keyboard Kit, Increase quantity for Lily58 Pro Keyboard Kit. Stop using OLED completely and turn it off as described above. 4 lines (3 sloc) 152 Bytes. Prebuild keyboards are quite good but the advantage of building your own is that you choose not only the layout of them, but the form factor, the tactile responsiveness, and the behavior as the chip that rules them is open source and easily hackable. Lily58 KB License. my requirements: build on top of open-source hardware and software so I could modify it; Featuring Microcontroller Hotswap Sockets, USB-C Pro Micro, Kailh Switch Hotswap Sockets, Acrylic Plates,.

The Sofle RGB is a copy of the Sofle V2 with the addition of up to 36 RGB leds per side. Before I dig into the how, I figured I should share a bit about the why I went ahead and put together my own keyboard. Feel free to get creative and experiment with keymaps that match your preferences; consider changing to the JIS layout or adding a key to switch between English and Kana, for example. You signed in with another tab or window. Insert a few switches into the switch plate, then insert the PCB into the switch legs. In the case of bad key switch insertion: QMK is a small program, aka firmware, that luckily is open source and with an incredible documentation page that guides you on how to build it for a large number of custom keyboards, and it has support for split keyboards! A build log / reference post covering my first stab at a hardware project: building a split ergonomic keyboard running the QMK firmware. The awesome QMK Configurator online tool let's you pick a keyboard, WYSIWYG yourself a keymap, and even get a compiled firmware download that you can then just flash onto your device! A keyboard is formed by a matrix of switches wired to main chip which converts those row/columns activations into keystroke events (KEY_A, KEY_F2,) and sends them to the computer. The Choc version has dedicated build guide. V2.0 Boards - There is a known issue on V2.0 boards with the LED circuit - a trace is missing to a via on the underside of the board (on top on the left half). If you have any problems, please feel free to send a message to the "#Lily58" channel on Discord ("Self-Made Keyboards in Japan" (https://discordapp.com/invite/NM7XtDW)) or Twitter: @F_YUUCHI. Use metallic tweezersto bridge any 2 switch pins (on the bottom side of the PCB, this simulates a keypress) or insert switches into the soldered hotswap sockets on the PCB.If it registers the shorts/keypresses you did a great job and may proceed with the build.. Keep in mind that this is a prototype of a DIY keyboard. Moving the iron back and forth from the pin can help to flow the solder under the LED. Even if you dont plan to use OLED Screen, i always recommend to bridge them anyway, since there is no harm having them in any case bridged. 13D) Insert the keycaps and connect the TRRS into both halves and after that USB cable to the left half. Test if OLED screen is on and keypresses are registering. Note: Choc switches do not work with acrylic case. It's easy for the components to fly out when peeling back the tape, so open it slowly and carefully. I want to give my kudos to the documentation from keeb.io, they have incredible detailed documentation about how to solder, tools required, tips and tricks. Attach four 10mm round spacers to the holes near ProMicro. While this is not a Lily58 build video, the steps are more or less the same and a great short video to get a grasp of the overall build procedure. The sofle RGB uses the following table, with the silkscreen marking at pin 1 (Dout). Make sure halves are not connected together with TRRS cable. Those are fixed in version 3.1. In 2 sets come 24 + 24 Pins enough for 2 controllers, Optional, but its always fun to put a bongo cat for example later on the screen, to check the wpm or show current layer etc, if the controller will be hotswap, this makes total sense to have, or Micro USB cable (depending on the chosen controller). If not, check if the corresponding sockets or diodes need to be reflowed. On the PCB tin one diode pad first. Be gentle with the USB on your microcontroller. ** Indicator + drop lighting ** but the supply chain is scarce. Here's what I bought in order to completely put together the Lily58. When Detecting USB port, reset your controller now is displayed, press the reset button on the keyboard to start writing. Please be careful when inserting the switches into the PCB. Solder the 4 jumper pads on the same side that the pro micro will be mounted on. Dismiss, Compile ZMK Firmware + Flash Nice!Nano Controller. Refer to Soldering the controller if you need further guidance. Lily58 KB Build Guide. Each half of the keyboard must be programmed separately using this approach. Check everything before soldering. This was the primary guide I followed for putting together the keyboard. Install the oled so it sits over the pro micro, Add rotary encoders last, they are big, and make soldering harder. Helix build guide. Click here for the Corne Cherry v2 build guide. In the case of badly attached socket: Flash the controller (pro micro, Elite C, nice!nano, etc) with the firmware. This build guide is based on a copy of the main build guide. Most of the photos are for v1 and the differences are explained in the text as needed. Ive been using some keeb or another for more than 8 years, and I continuously Lily58 Pro - ERGONOMIC SPLIT KEYBOARD SOLDERING BUILD GUIDE (beginner friendly). This ensures that the controller works completely before soldering it permanently to the board. Test the PCB by checking if it registers keypresses. (In the case of Choc switches, starting with two switches in the plate may be easier.). Get to know the jargon used in the community, and some hidden gotchas like how deep the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole really goes! With a bit more solder than usual on the tip solder down the other side to the pad on PCB. Use a fairly low temperature (240c) and lots of flux. You would need to add support to the firmware on your own. Additional information. Insert headers into holes. Customize the information of the OLED panels. Put the backplate using the standoffs left and screw them together to finish everything! The Lily58 Pro/Pro RE keyboard is a64+4keys column-staggered split keyboard. You can find links for the most of the components in the sourcing parts section. Out of the box, the controllers were already in DFU (Device Firmware Upgrade) mode for me. Custom USB Cables and Ergonomical Keyboards, Lily58 Pro 58 keys split keyboard 64 columnar stagger and 4 thumb cluster, compatible with Kailh MX and Choc hotswap sockets. Repeat all the steps above on the another half. Their height depends on which switches you use. Be gentle with micro USB ports on your microcontrollers. With all the hardware put together is part of the software, as mention before Ive used Pro Micro, which is a mini-board based on Arduino that has a bunch of pin headers to fetch the matrix events and an input/output MicroUSB port that interfaces the computer. After each switch is placed in and the microcontroller is hooked up, it's a good idea to make sure all the keys are working as expected--. Add socket for OLED display. Related to the above point, the pin holes for the microcontroller are outlined with a white square box, but there is also a set of holes that are offset for the reverse side. For 3mm Acrylic Base and 3mm Acrylic Switch plates screw in the 5x 6mm standoffs into the the base plate. When customizing a keymap, start by making a copy of the qmk_firmware/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/default folder and modifying that directory's internal keymap.c file. Check the direction of the diode in question. Re-solder the problem socket, or reflow and add solder if the joint is weak. nice!nano) and shield (e.g. The Lily58 is a perfect choice for people who want to be on a split keyboard but still want to have a fairly standard amount of keys. But if you really need underglow it is be possible to connect an RGB LED strip since there are 3 pads (VCC, GND and data) on the board. There are lots of different keyboard PCB designs out there but I went with one called Lily58. This is how the right half should look from the top. This has been corrected in the v2.1 boards, and hopefully hasnt caught too many people out. follow the instructions in the documentation. As mentioned before keyboard parts are usually sold out as they are not manufactured in large chunks. So taking the default keymap as my starting point, I started to tweak things almost immediately to fit my typing style and allow me to ease into a layout that isn't too far from a standard QWERTY keyboard. Make sure you have orientation right - they are all oriented to the same side. Build as indicated by the orientation shown . I Have Waited A LONG TIME for this keyboard!!! If it is wrong, remove it and re-solder it. The default keymap is laid out on the assumption that it will be used in the MacOS/US keyboard environment. If you want that on the Lily58, you need the Elite-C or something similar, which increases the total price to $78, about the same as the Iris. get the explosive combo. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. First, I spend long hours in front of my computer and Oh, and my build doesn't have any OLED screens to install so I skipped that bit. Many highlights in this guide contain useful links, hover with the mouse over them and click. Begin by placing one on each of the corners of the PCB to give you some stability. Solder in place on the bottom side of the pcb. The command might look something like this: Connect the second half and flash it in the same way as the previous one. Always disconnect the USB cable first. The communication between both halves is done via TRRS interface, which is an audio-like audio cable but with 4 channels instead of 2, connected through JACK ports installed on each half. Instead, the QMK Toolbox is a great way to get yourself up and running on a Windows machine, pull a compiled firmware package, and flash it onto the microcontroller. document.write(new Date().getFullYear()) Sold the OLED panel on top of each Arduino using long rigid copper cable soldering to the PCB headers. Make sure you know which way around your leds are, different brands have different pin 1 positions. This substrate (PCB) is reversible. On the right half, diode D27 was rotated 180 degrees from usual. After being baited by several beautiful builds online, I really had no choice but to dive into the world of mechanical keyboards with zero electronics experience under my belt. Im really proud of achieving this point. These points put together the necessity of building not only an additional kata0510 fix Lily58 Pro BuildGuide. On this guide i started with the left half. It is a modified version of the Lily58 Pro pcb from kata0510 Given the context Ive presented in the previous section, I chose some parts that fit the most This was the primary guide I followed for putting together the keyboard. Parts Required Optional Firmware preparation If you build the firmware yourself, it will take some time to set up the environment, so it's best to start at the beginning. A couple of good tips showcased here around the soldering iron temperatures to use as a beginner and the technique for soldering diodes where you first place solder on one of the pads before pushing the diode into space with a bit of heat. Version 1: the Pro Micro board should be mounted bottom-up. Mount with the wider side (labeled "" here) outwards. This guide suits both version V1 and V2 of the standard (non-RGB) Sofle Keyboard. The board requires a keymap in order to function. Their modification is not part of the repository and therefore we cant fix any problems and we cant help with any problems you might have with the design. Work out what leds you wish to have, I have endeavoured to provide plenty of flexibility, and all led configurations are available using the headers available. Please mind that the layout has slight modifications, mainly the pinkie stagger is less aggresive than for non-RGB Sofle V2. This keyboard runs QMK and the firmware can be found here. Lily58 KB Build Guide. Attach the top plate spacers for alignment. switch between them as I prefer each day. You signed in with another tab or window. A symbol different from the symbol input by "@" or "[" etc. The end with the thin line is Cathode (-) and it should go in the direction of the arrow symbol on the PCB.

A build guide Lily58 Pro suggests 7mm for MX. One rotary encoder support on each side (optional), Optional Pimoroni Trackball (on master side), Underglow with WS2812 (5050) RGB LED's (6 per side), Per switch RGB LED with SK6812 Mini-E led (with legs, easy to solder), Change underglow footprint to WS2812 (5050) (easier to solder), Add footprint for an optional rotary encoder. If you do not, you will experience "jittery" keystrokes as if some keys were lost while in transit. The build is completed by attaching the four rubber feet to the back of each board. Since recognition of keyboard is recognized as JIS keyboard on OS, another symbol will be input when inputting with Lily 58 (treated as US keyboard). Double combo . You should see all the contacts in sockets. (For custom keymaps, it's recommended to build the full environment described above). This is the nature of the product. Lily58 Pro is a 58 key split keyboard with OLEDs and supports an LED strip. Quick intro into the various switches out there and how they differ. Make sure that you use the outlined headers from whichever side of the board that you mount the micro on. QMK is the software of choice for these keyboards. Many highlights in this guide contain useful links, hover with the mouse over them and click. Soldering & Build difficulty: , FREE Shipping Worldwide on all custom cables. Keep in mind that this is a prototype of a DIY keyboard. If you're using DFU bootloader (in case of the elite c), replace the 'avrdude' with 'dfu'. Refer to Soldering diodes if you need further guidance. After switching, switching to Japanese input becomes the switching key for the US keyboard, and it differs from the JIS keyboard, so please be careful (it can be customized with the key map etc.). How to Make a Corne Split Keyboard by Keep in mind that this hobby is not cheap . If you get an error, please double-check the board, connection and command. Lily58 Pro Build Guide by Keyhive. This unfortunately suggests soldering the micro on first, despite it making the back side harder to solder. To summarize it, you have an electronic place that the rest of the components attach to. Solder the OLED screen hotswap sockets on the top side of the PCB. PCBs are reversible on kriscables.com This means you can choose any of them for left/right when starting the build, SMD only (through hole diodes are not supported), You can alternatively: Bridge 2x the GND + RST pins on pro micro or define in QMK keymap, Optional, but strongly recommended to have them to hotswap easily any time, Needed for controllers hotswap. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. . Theoretically I think these could be installed on the under side for a lower profile. Please read the whole guide before starting the build this might help avoid possible mistakes beforehand.Please respect the order precedence of this guide as it helps identify mistakes and excludes possible errors on early stages out of the equation. Easy to understand instructions!Link to via website to download firmware and flash. Pro Micro boards dont come with firmware preinstalled, but there is a community-driven project to make it to work called QMK. Note the outlined sets of holes in PCB, and insert the ProMicro into the outlined holes. I have added a single LED to the top surface to act as a layer indicator, this is enabled by bridging 2-3 on J6(indicator bypass). Now you have completed the build process, congrats comrade! It is recommended to flash ProMicro's prior to soldering. Make sure halves are not connected together with TRRS cable. Recommended Soldering Tools on Keeb.io.
