* Daktil Keyboard
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Daktil is a fork of [[https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard][the Dactyl]], a parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar, ergonomic keyboard.
|
||
|
|
A number of them were built at [[http://ljudmila.org/][Ljudmila]], at the [[https://wiki.ljudmila.org/Tipkovnica_dactyl][PIFlab workshop]].

There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4][very interesting talk]] about the motivation and design of the original Dactyl by Matt Addereth, its creator:

|
** Differences from the original design
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The generated model has not changed, but we used an Arudino ProMicro instead of a Teensy Arduino controller. We also did the wiring in columns instead of rows and connected the left and right parts with a spiral telephone cord with 4P4C connectors/cords.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We built some original Dactyls and some [[https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard][Dactyl Manuforms]].

** Assembly

|
*** Parts / materials
|
||
|
|
- Cherry MX switches
|
||
|
|
- Arduino Pro Micro (you can / we did / use a clone)
|
||
|
|
- IO expander (MCP23008)
|
||
|
|
- 3d print material
|
||
|
|
- 1N41 diodes (1 for each key / approx. 60)
|
||
|
|
- two 2,2 kΩ resistors
|
||
|
|
- two 4P4C telephone jacks and a spiral cord
|
||
|
|
- enameled wire

*** Generating a Design
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Setting up the Clojure environment*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [[https://clojure.org][Install the Clojure runtime]]
|
||
|
|
- [[http://leiningen.org/][Install the Leiningen project manager]]
|
||
|
|
- [[http://www.openscad.org/][Install OpenSCAD]]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Generating the design**
|
||
|
|
- Run `lein repl`
|
||
|
|
- Load the file `(load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj")`
|
||
|
|
- This will regenerate the `things/*.scad` files
|
||
|
|
- Use OpenSCAD to open a `.scad` file.
|
||
|
|
- Make changes to design, repeat `load-file`, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
|
||
|
|
- When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files
|
||
|
|

|

|
|
*** Printing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pregenerated STL files are available in the [[things/][things]] directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[[things/daktil_dlan_2.stl][Handrests]] prototyped at PIFcamp 2018 were designed with Blender.

*** Wiring

|
|
|
||
|
|
*TODO*
