# The Dactyl Keyboard
|
||||
The Dactyl is a parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar, ergonomic keyboard.

||||

There's a talk about the motivation and design of the Dactyl that helps provide context for this repo:

|
||||
|
||||
## Assembly
|
||||
|
||||
### Generating a Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Setting up the Clojure environment**
|
||||
* [Install the Clojure runtime](https://clojure.org)
|
||||
* [Install the Leiningen project manager](http://leiningen.org/)
|
||||
* [Install OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/)
|
||||
|
||||
**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
|
||||
|
||||
**Tips**
|
||||
* [Some other ways to evaluate the clojure design file](http://stackoverflow.com/a/28213489)
|
||||
* [Example designing with clojure](http://adereth.github.io/blog/2014/04/09/3d-printing-with-clojure/)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Printing
|
||||
Pregenerated STL files are available in the [things/](things/) directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wiring
|
||||
Masks for the flexible PCBs I used are available for the [left](resources/pcb-left.svg) and [right](resources/pcb-right.svg) side.
|
||||
|
||||
A [very rough guide for the brave is here](guide/README.org#wiring) - It will be improved over time (**TODO**)!

* 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]].
|
||||
|
||||
[[file:resources/keyboards.jpg]]
|
||||
|
||||
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

Pregenerated STL files are available in the [[things/][things]] directory.
|

[[things/daktil_dlan_2.stl][Handrests]] prototyped at PIFcamp 2018 were designed with Blender.
