# Dactyl Flexible PCB Rough Guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For now, take a look at the images and try to figure things out, I know that's not great (it's better than nothing!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Making the PCB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Get two sheets of 6in square Pyralux™. Use the Toner Transfer
|
||
|
|
method to etch the Pyralux sheets as you would a usual PCB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> NOTE: If you only have an Inkjet make photocopies of the print out, voilà Toner based copies!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Here's a handy toner transfer guide ... ](http://www.instructables.com/id/Toner-transfer-no-soak-high-quality-double-sided/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Print these PCB designs out...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Left hand:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Right hand:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you're done etching, you'll need to carefully cut the pcb into
|
||
|
|
pieces... See the images below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## This is Madness...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The thumb cluster pcb for the left hand:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Solder the MCP like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Solder the Teensy 2.0 like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some interesting pull up 10k resistor business here... (TODO add a small diagram and notes)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each hand of the keyboard will wire up like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Teensy goes here... note the rows soldered to the teensy via the Pyralux:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here the left hand:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
That's all for now, this guide will improve over time! (TODO!)
