README

README.md

3x5+2 key split orthogonal BLE keyboard

This fork is a custom version of weteor's Lütt un Lütt, altered such that it is powered by a pair of LiPO batteries rather than coin cells, and uses MX switches.

Features

  • Diode-less pcb, since there are enough GPIO pins on the nice!nano
  • full BLE, powered by 3.7v 110mAh LiPO batteries
  • MX hotswap sockets
  • case files are supplied (stl, dxf, as well as the freecad files)
  • supports both nice!nano and pro micro
  • QMK, ZMK, etc. support with pro micro, or ZMK with nice!nano

Prototype

  • First prototype printed on 18th March 2023

what's left to do?

  • fix small hole placement error in case
  • implement support of Elite-C/Pi
  • add mounting holes

Questions

How big is the Lul left PCB?

It measures 238.5 × 84.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1 mm thick.

What parts does the Lul left use?

50 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 Lul left KiCad files?

From the kaibagley/Thunder-Lightning repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/lul_left/lul_left.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/lul_left/lul_left.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Lul left design in my own project?

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