Well I don’t know anything about macs, but you could always virtual desktop into a windows machine :sweat_smile:

Yeah that’s my project this week is deploying these to a virtual machine on my server. Just a pain.

I’m other news I had a really cool idea that came from wondering about keyboard Hall effect switches and the xg3. I’m gonna try to bread board it when I get some parts in

The flexNT product page says its dimensions are 9x22mm, but the STL is 8x22, anybody happen to know which is right?

Nevermind, I got it:

Totally, go for it. I’ll give you another one whenever we find a solution for the googleless

Just went component shopping on newegg. 2,858 dollars. Tax and whatnot will put it over 3000.

Might be a bit.

Makin’ me feel like an old crow. I remember not wanting to leave Windows 98.

New toy:

It’s a Banana Pi R3 Mini, running vanilla OpenWRT. I’m not going to run the included chinese version.

Should I get an LTE modem for it or something?

(āŒ’_āŒ’;) The cybernetics core is actually how I was introduced to cybernetics. Looked up the word, found Paul Pangaro’s old website, system’s thinking. Resonated. Incubated. Years later, cybernetics lead to cyborg and now I’m here.

Been looking at them for a possible pu project, are you thinking plug-in hat or stand alone modem through copper/wifi connection?

Also, unrelated question, anyone ever managed to load ZMK .uf2 files to a nice!nano for a wireless keyboard?
I built the Sofle today, but I’m having a hard time loading the firmware on the boards …

The SBC router thing that I bought has an M.2 slot for one. It only provides USB 3 so you have to choose a modem accordingly. There’s also a spot for a small SSD.

Aren’t .uf2 files used for the Raspberry Pi MUCs? Normally, you press the bootloader button when connecting the USB cable, then you release the button, and finally you copy the firmware as if it was a USB drive.

The boot button disables the Chip Select pin of the flash chip that normally holds the firmware, but some chinise boards use a jumper, which is stupid as the bootloader can’t write the new firmware if the jumper is in place…

Edit:

Are you sure that .uf2 is the correct firmware format?

Another edit, yeap it is the correct file extension.

[quote]Flashing, Firmware, and Bootloaders
One of the great things about the nice!nano is how easy it is to flash the device. To jump into the bootloader all you need to do is double tap reset. You can do this by either double tapping your reset button on your keyboard, or you can double tap RST and GND pins on the nice!nano quickly with tweezers.

Once you are into the bootloader, connect your nice!nano via USB to your computer if you haven’t already. Your nice!nano should now show up in your OS as a USB storage device named ā€œNICENANOā€.

Flashing is now as easy as copying a .uf2 firmware file to the storage device. You can do this by copying in the terminal, dragging and dropping it in your file explorer, or however else you copy files to a storage device in your OS.[/quote]

Basically covered it. Are you flashing from qmk toolkit or cli?

They don’t have any implants, but I do hide sticky notes in their things in return.

following ZMK’s guide, it is suposed to be the proper format.
I manage to put the board in boot mode, when i copy the file over, teh board disconnect and doesnt flash …
I got a 2 pack and the other is dead, so i got more boards from someone else to see if maybe its a dead board/bootloader …

QMK doesnt support the nice!nano (wireless) as far as i can see. If this doesnt work (at all) i may switch to a classic promicro (wired) and try QMK.

The Raspberry Pi MUCs disconnect as soon as the file finished copying at least. So that’s the behavior that I would normally expect. Make sure that the firmware that you’re flashing is working properly before bashing the bootloader.

Maybe try a precompiled example, then try flashing an LED or something along those lines.

Yup! It is the same situation in our house. It’s so lovely!

I only used a nicenano! Build once and I had compiled it with an incorrect setting when flashing so it appeared like it took the firmware but didn’t update. I think I had the wrong layout key code for one key. I can’t remember, it was using a nullbits board.

you are on teh right track, after a few more trials this morning, i found that ZMK doesnt always creates the firmware for the board you select :roll_eyes: it seam a bit random, but after a few trial, it (randomly?) shows the proper board. that firmware does flash :partying_face:

The board that pop up an goes into the boot mode did the same thing with the proper firmware, and it does work, the other doesnt go into bootloader mode, nor is it detected by the computer wen plugged in … I think it mught be a dud … got more in the mail and will see if that fixes it :grin:
