Особенности:

  • 36 клавиш, совместима с Choc v2 свитчами
  • Direct-pin подключение — при сборке не требуются диоды
  • Низкопрофильный корпус (свитчи практически касаются стола)

Ссылки на актуальные прошивки:

RMK

Следуйте инструкциям в README.md репозитория с RMK прошивкой.

ZMK

Используйте вариант подключения direct-pin, описанный в lapka_wellum36_left.overlay и lapka_wellum36_right.overlay.

Откройте GitHub Actions и найдите последний успешно собранный билд ветки lapka-36. В нём будет артефакт сборки firmware.zip, который содержит все нужные для прошивки файлы.

Тестовая прошивка расположена в ветке lapka-36-test. В ней всего один слой и клавиши на тамб-кластере заменены на F1-F6. Это позволит увидеть нажатия клавиш на key-test.ru.

Links to the current firmwares:

RMK

Follow the instructions in the README.md file of the RMK firmware repository.

ZMK

Use direct pin layout, described in lapka_wellum36_left.overlay and lapka_wellum36_right.overlay.

Open GitHub Actions and find latest successful build of branch lapka-36. In that build you'll find artifact firmware.zip, which contain all the neccessary firmware files.

Test firmware is located in branch lapka-36-test. There are single layer with F1-F6 keys on the thumb-cluster. That will help to see keypresses on the key-test.ru.

Questions

How big is the Lapka ChocV2 Solder PCB?

It measures 130.3 × 85.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Lapka ChocV2 Solder use?

21 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Lapka ChocV2 Solder KiCad files?

From the braindefender/lapka repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Archived/Lapka_ChocV2_Solder.kicad_pcb and its schematic KiCad/Archived/Lapka.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Lapka ChocV2 Solder design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
