# tastenbrett

![tastenbrett](https://git.ctu.cx/tastenbrett/raw/img/tastenbrett_irl.jpg)

A custom 50ish% ortholinear keyboard.

* Keyboard Maintainers: [ctucx](https://github.com/ctucx), [Milan Pässler](https://github.com/petabyteboy)
* Hardware Availability: i still have some pcbs, contact me(ctucx) if u want one ;)

## the hardware:
![image of the pcb](https://git.ctu.cx/tastenbrett/raw/img/tastenbrrett_pcb.png)     
I made the pcb layout with easyEDA.   
You can find it [here on easyeda](https://easyeda.com/le0nth3in/50-keyboard) and an export of it as well as the gerber files  in the pcb folder in this repo.

The needed parts are:
 - 1x  pcb (surprisingly)
 - 1x  arduino pro micro (and matching pin headers)
 - 48x Kailh Choc Switches
 - 44x 1U keycaps
 - 4x  2U keycaps
 - 48x diodes (i used LL4148-GS08)
 - 6x  WS2813 led (optional, used for rgb underglow)
 - 6x  100nF SMD caps (only needed if u want the led thingy!)



## case:
Well, i just used a second pcb as backplate for mine.    
But you could probably also laser-cut one out of wood or plexiglass or desisgn a case and 3d print it.


## qmk
The default-layout looks like this:    
![image of the default layout](https://git.ctu.cx/tastenbrett/raw/img/tastenbrett_layout.png)

Get a fresh copy of qmk and then copy the content of the qmk folder in this repo as "tastenbrett" to the "keyboards" folder of qmk.     

Then u can build a qmk firmware with:    
```make tastenbrett:default```   

and flash it with:   
```make tastenbrett:default:flash```   

Look at qmk's [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
