  • Hey! Nice to see you here! Thanks again for your awesome design. Once I have some more spare time, I’m going to make a revision of my board that I based on Cheapino, that will fix the mistake with the RJ45 and some things I wanted to add, and I will open source my design (gotta come up with a name too, and maybe some silkscreen art). Once I do that and test the new prototype, I might apply the same fixes to Cheapino. Would you be interested in a pull request? Again, I don’t want to promise anything, since I have very little spare time lately, but I think your board is awesome and it would be awesome if we made it a little easier for people trying to build it.


  • I might be completely wrong, but I’ve built my custom based on ideas from cheapino and in my opinion, tompi made a mistake when designing the RJ45 connection. When I copied his design, I ended up with one of the rows connected to ground on the other half. To amend that, I made a custom cable. You can see how he’s trying to make it work by adding some bitmasks with functions like fix_ghosting_issue, but it’s not a ghosting issue per se, but a mistake in wiring. You can check that with a multimeter running on continuity check mode. I haven’t been able to make my keyboard work properly before making a cable with four wires reversed, so that the connection is correct.
