A 5x3 split keyboard with 3 thumbs. There is nothing unique about the keyboard layout. It's inspired by Corne and Kyria, and has the exact number of keys needed for the Miryoku layout.
The interesting thing about this keyboard is that it's a declarative design ("samoklava" can be loosely translated as "keyboard that assembles itself" from Russian).
- Layout is declared using Ergogen
- The build system uses Ergogen to translate YAML to a KiCad PCB and plate files for FR-4 fab or laser cutting
- uses kicad-automation-scripts and FreeRouting to automatically route the traces on the PCB
- uses KiKit to render PCB previews (see top of this file) and production-ready Gerber files
- Extra pins and a slider switch for battery for wireless Promicro clones (tested with nice!nano); the slider can be
shorted with a jumper if
CONFIG_ZMK_SLEEP
is preferred. - Wired operation with QMK should be possible but is not tested; TRRS footprints are included and routed. The pinout is identical with a five-column Corne sans the RGBLEDs.
- Reset switches are easily accessible. The footprints used are the same as on the Corne.
If you would like to modify this:
- fork it
- change
samoklava.yaml
to your liking - push your changes; the
build.yml
GitHub Workflow will pick it up, autoroute and generate Gerbers, all in a zip file. See https://github.com/soundmonster/samoklava/actions - or:
- make sure to have Docker CLI and NodeJS installed
- run
make setup clean all
- check the
