Wondering about QMK Proton C #12
Comments
|
Have you seen the Elite-C? That's the controller I used for my board, so I have USB-C without any extra space or case modifications needed to fit it. The only issue I see with the Proton is that you would have to break off the extra pins if you had the OLED, and to fit the TRSS jack. So basically, it's the same as the Elite-C at the end of the day, since the PCB/Case isn't fit for that long of a controller (though a speaker may be an interesting idea. I can think of a few fun ideas, like a siren for high-severity tickets at work) |

Yeah. I know about the Elite-C. I personally don't care that much about the connector. That's because I use magnetic connectors. So whether the connector is USB-C or Micro doesn't matter to me too much. I'm more interested in the ARM based chip. Which has more flash so that I can turn on more features. For example, right now, I have to turn some QMK features off so that I can fit in Dynamic Macros. Would be nice if I can basically turn everything on. 😆 I also don't mind breaking off extra pins from the Proton C. I would rather keep the beautiful profile of the Corne over having sound (personal preference). Of course, if @foostan figures something out that looks nice, I'm game for it. |

@leotumwattana The current version of the QMK firmware has no support for ARM-based chips on split keyboards. You can check out |

@jeffreykxiao Ah, ic. Thanks for explaining the situation. I guess it's a waiting game for now. Look forward to it though. |
|
@kmanwar89 do you have some pictures and maybe a tutorial of your Elite-C on your crkbd? I would like to use usb-c with my incoming crkbd if possible. |
Apologies @snowe2010, the notification for this comment went to an email I almost never check. I can take some pictures and unicast them to you when I get a free chance this evening/this weekend? I honestly built the board and don't use it, but that's mostly because I'm putting off having to program it and learn QMK.... I will say I really enjoy the USB-C connector, since most phones have USB-C now and the cables are far more prevalent. |
|
That would be awesome. Thanks! |
Would you mind sharing your magnetic conector? |
|
Sure. I use this one from XPower: http://www.xpower.com.hk/magnetic-cable |
@snowe2010 I am the worst -- I told you I'd take a screenshot and never did. If you still need them, I can take some and upload them. Honestly though, I just followed the build guide and just used an Elite-C instead of a Pro Micro. Wired and soldered it the exact same way, since it's the same board. The CRKBD doesn't have room for the extra breakout pins (which can be used to control a speaker, how cool!), so make sure you only buy the version without it (or break it off if you do get it on your controller). Other than that, it's just a drop-in replacement for the ProMicro from my experience. This is my first ever board I've built and first time ever doing anything with soldering or small electronics, so take my advice with a heavy dab of salt! |

@kmanwar89 ok, no worries. As long as it's drop in it should be fine. |
|
@snowe2010 yup. drop-in replacement for Pro Micro. |

The QMK Proton C seems like a great new controller with more flash and faster ARM based chip. Was wondering if anyone tried using it with Corne?
