In today's age of mechanical keyboards, people want simple and customizable. The Stormy 9 allows by having up to 16 programmable buttons, a knob to adjust volume and brightness, and an OLED display showing off your WPM and a cute picture of my cat (non-negotiable). Also, the DEMO URL goes to a website I built a while back (how can users try out a keyboard from a website?)
(Even though it says 23 minutes, this is supposed to fix the error where 2.5 hours were unaccounted).
I spent these 2.5 hours learning QMK and programming the Stormy 9’s firmware.
The current features are:
Future Features:
The 23 minutes being logged right now were spent buffing up the README file. I added the resources I utilized during the design and my thought process.
I look forward to building the actual thing!
Finally finished the initial model of the Stormy 9! Because of Fusion refusing to import models (I tried importing a KICAD 3D model of the PCB to utilize the footprint 3D models to simplify case design), I used Blender instead, which was a nightmare of its own. However, everything seems look great! This project has definitely inspired me to start researching hand-wiring full keyboards. PS, I have more like 5-6 hours logged for this, but Hackatime didn’t pick up the time I did in Blender and KICAD.
