adelheid's Introduction

๐•ฌ๐–‰๐–Š๐–‘๐–๐–Š๐–Ž๐–‰

The Adelheid is a 75% Alice-like keyboard.
It's a fork of FateNozomi's Arisu files: Arisu PCB & Arisu case

Changes in this fork

Here is a list of things I added in this fork in comparison to the Arisu:

  • added an angled & spaced function row
  • added option for stepped caps lock
  • replaced micro usb port with tht mini usb port
  • added single color underglow and key lighting

for a visual comparison see here

Miscellaneous

Why?

I think accessing the function keys with a layer on the number row is the superior method as it's faster and more comfortable because you barely have to move your hands. I found myself trying to access the function row one-handedly quite often and nothing beats the comfort of pressing a single dedicated key. By default you can still access the function keys via the number row on the secondary layer.

Where does the name Adelheid come from?

I thought it'd be nice to continue the somewhat tradition of naming Alice-clones by putting a spin on the forename Alice, just like the Arisu, Lisa and Majbritt did. I chose Adelheid as a German spin on the name.
The typeface is called Fraktur and was the dominant typeface during the time when Adelheid was one of the most popular names.

Will you add more keys to the bottom row or a second B key?

I don't plan on changing the bottom row or adding a second B key. In my opinion the keyboard looks the best and most balanced the way Fate designed it.

  • add 3d printable case files

adelheid's Issues

PCB: add sorcing instructions and CPL data

Ordering a custom PCB might not be easy for someone who is a newbie like me :)
It would be nice to have some recommendations such as layers number (2 if I'm not wrong), thickness (is 1.6 mm ok?), minimum hole size, outer copper weight

Also, some PCB manufacturers also offer assembly of SMD components, but I wasn't able to find CPL data in the Gerber/in the repository, only the BOM. Is it possible to have it?

Improve DXF usability

While working on a 3D printed case, I've imported the lasercut files into LibreCAD, QCAD and FreeCAD and found some minor problems that make it difficult to edit them. These are the possible improvements:

  • Remove stacked lines (sometimes there are two lines in the same place, this is a problem when using some online manufacturing services)
  • Fillets/rounds and hexagons are represented with polilines, replace them with circles/arcs/hexagons (it is a problem when importing in 3D)
  • Create polilines (e.g. a button hole should be a poliline, otherwise importing in 3D CADs leads to "open wires" errors)

(note: for the case I'm already modifying the DXFs, if I achieve to complete the case I'll also upload them)

Case layers order

I was trying to understand the assembly order for the lasercut layers, but I have doubts

lopro_layers_colored

In relation to the scheme above, layers from lower to upper:

  • Low profile: A-B-F-C-E-D
    • Is this correct? (I'm quite confident of this one, but better safe than sorry)
  • High profile: A-B-F-C-E-I-K-J-L-D
    • Is this correct?
    • If so, where should G and H go?

License - consider a Open Hardware one

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, I don't know if this is possible, but might be a good idea to evaluate

I see the project is released under MIT, but as it is essentially about hardware, you might have a look to licenses specifically made for Open Hardware. The Open Source Hardware Association website contains a lot of information, and an example of license is the CERN OHL, available in different flavors (more or less reciprocal). Or for a strong copyleft you might have a look to GNU GPL, as v3 has also been designed to cover circuit designs.

3d printed case?

The todo mentions a 3d printed case. Was that made and not uploaded, or never made?
