Re: Building OtherHalf keyboard prototype --exciting times! last call to jump in and help!
 
Great work!
Dirkvl, I've got €30 heading your way.

I'm probably not the only one, but I do have a 3D-printer and limited modelling skills so when you're at the prototyping stage I can lend a hand.

At the moment I am at the point that I'm confident that the software side will work -thanks to kimmoli!- so it is time to design and order some pcb's.

3D printer would be practical, but forthe first prototype it will probably better to have one available nearby! :)

my faculty has three 3d-printers, so will probably try that first when I have a design made

what about integrating the oled screen hack in the keyboard?
would that be possible?

Possible but more work i guess? :p

Hi to all guys,
I'm following the great job you all are making here and i've to say i admire you so much ;) as i don't understand a lot about programming and so.. but in case you'll need an hand for design a pcb or so, i'm here! ;)
Anyway, is very stimulating to follow you!! go ahead!!

Yes if you need that, I normally use Cam350..

EDIT: it seems i can't send you private messages, i suppose due my few post here.. if you're pleased you could try to message me, hope i'll be able to answer at least and share the way you want use to send me needed files to check and so.. anyway I'm here waiting news :)

First thank You for great work on TOH keyboard!
I don't know much about programming, but if can help on hardware, making keyboard and mechanism for I can try.
On TOH isn't much space to make some good mechanism like on N97, I think slide out is only possible and of course we all want thin keyboard.
Connection should be over cables?
