Stenokey

Stenographic keyboard

Stenokey is an open source do it yourself stenographic keyboard project. It is aimed at makers with some electronics experience (soldering) and who own a 3D printer or who have a friend with a 3D printer.

Documentation/Stenokey.png

Stenokey connects to any desktop or laptop PC that has a USB port. It is meant to work with the Open Steno Project's Plover software, which runs on Linux, Mac and Windows.

This project consists of four main parts:

  • The OpenSCAD source code for all of the 3D printed plastic parts is in the main directory. Printer ready .STL files for the key tops are in the Key_Print_Files directory. The .STL files for the case are in the Case_Print_Files directory.

  • The bill of materials (BOM) for populating the circuit board is in the main directory. The PCB design files are in the PCB directory.

  • The Arduino based firmware is in the Firmware directory.

  • Documentation for the project, including build instructions, programming and testing instructions and a user manual are all in the Documentation Directory.

Questions

How big is the Stenokey PCB?

It measures 219 × 139.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Stenokey use?

102 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 Stenokey KiCad files?

From the mike-ady/Stenokey repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Stenokey.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Stenokey design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mike-ady before reusing the design.
