Thanks Dirk! Looking good.
I appreciate al your photo's and updates.

And also happy new year. With keyboard this year!!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Looks promising...keep up the good work!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I am confused... Do I need to slide out the keyboard to avoid obstructing the camera? There is no dedicated hole in the keyboard layout... I guess there is no way around it, since it would introduce fragility issues. Which would not be solved even by having the hole in center of four-arrows parts (anywhere else it would be even more clumsy?)

Best wishes. Thank you.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

yes, just take off the keyboard part or slide it out to take a picture.
it would be weird to have a hole in your tohkbd, isn't it?

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

The keyboard is attached with strong magnets. You can simply unattach it to take photographs.

Good for being the first one to bring this up. I will change the PCBs, make a hole in the casing and mail Korea to throw away the molds and start making other ones. Will look like this.

Sorry for the sarcastic response. This question is the most asked, most answered and explained one. Almost on every page.


In other news:

First 485 TOH-cover PCBs are solderes, tested and EEPROM programmed. Next 1000 PCBs just arrived, do not look forward to soldering them.. Then attaching 3000 connector plates with 12000 solder joints. By hand.

Next keyboard casing arrived, *almost* slips in like a glove. Need to remove some material where there is expected build-up in the printing process. The 'locking trees' at the bottom work better than expected. Not a hassle to assemble, toight like a toiger and still possible to disassemble.

Material to be removed in next iteration:

Interested in why I do this, check the production videos on Shapeways, very cool stuff.

Small feature added to keyboard PCB, test pads for testing the LEDs during manufacturing:

Also, designed some soldering mold for the connector pads. Being printed in stainless steel.

It had normal arrow keys on the right. :)

Re: tohkbd2 #maybe
 

Arrow keys should always be on the right! :)
But that's just my personal opinion.
Anyway, I will be more than happy to have a keyboard even if the arrow keys are on the left...

I think this explains why the arrow keys are on the left ;)

Jolla is not a game console! :-)
N900 and Communicator 9210 had the arrow keys on the right to my defense.
