Desk of Ladyada - Desk of Ladyada - snap-apart mechanical keyboards and “NFTs” :)
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
It's a Keeb-ful sunday at the Desk of Ladyada - we launched the NeoKey breakout and dual key FeatherWing. But what about folks who want MORE KEEB? We chatted last weekend about making some sort of macro-pad or configurable keyboard, ideally with snap apart bits. Today we spent some time making the custom footprint that would let me easily tile Kailh-socket-plus-NeoPixel objects. There was some concern about how to handle snapping from various sides till an 'a-ha!' moment. Also, we're going to mint our first “NFT” (we are not), come by to see what it's gonna be. The Great Search - Common 0.1 inch (2.54mm) Header Pin Strips https://www.digikey.com/short/087j4jt2 The every-day male header pins, they come in so handy! They make great board-to-board connectors, with good current carrying capacity, fair durability, low cost, and near-infinite configurations. Lets practice how to find them on Digi-Key since there are thousands to choose from. We'll give tips and tricks on cost-vs-premium, Marketplace products, and Value Add services. #adafruit #digikey #deskofladyada Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com ----------------------------------------- LIVE CHAT IS HERE! http://adafru.it/discord Adafruit on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adafruit Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ -----------------------------------------
