How do I use the code to make the pcb look in kicad?
I do not know where to put that code to be able to generate the pcb and order my board for this project. Thanks a lot

All of the vias are 0.3 mm hole and 0.4 mm pad. This leaves only 0.05 mm for the annular ring.
The drill holes are never aligned perfectly so they can leave the pad or cut the connection between the track and pad. See here.

JLCPCB recommend 0.2 mm minimum annular ring (0.3 mm hole, 0.7 mm pad). There should be enough space to change all the vias to that size.

Hi and thank you for your work and dedication to the keyboard community!

I contacted a laser cutting company to cut a Lily 58 pro case, but they replied that the files I gave them didn't have any sizes on them, what are the correct sizes to cut that plates?

Or what is the correct way to get the plates cut?

Wich layers i need to export to generate a gerber file for jlcpcb?

I would like to know if I will be able to use only "one" lily58 pcb and pro micro as a macropad/numpad using qmk, to then in the future order also the second pcb and microcontroller to make it a full keyboard. Will I be able to do this or do I need both microcontrollers and pcbs to use the lily58?

Hi, this was my first soldering project and i think i destroyed one of the oled jumper pads. The right split's oled now stays dark when connecting the keyboard. Can i somehow workaround this? The pads on the other side are fine, can I just use them? Thanks for any help in advance :)

Hi Lily58 community!

I recently bought a Lily58 Pro PCB and have soldered it with MX hotswap switches. However, yesterday I tried to flash the Elite-C in Linux and had problems. I tried with "make lily58:default:dfu", the added options split-left and split-right and modifiying some lines in config.h and rules.mk files. However, the most I got was one of the parts perfectly working (left or right, depending which I define as master), but non the other (0 functionality) when conecting them with TRS or TRRS cables.

I have read about the spring pin header and so, but I think the Elite-C is not related to that, but the Pro Micro.

Any help is more than welcome!! Thanks 😃

Hello,

Please can I get a link to a pre built keyboard. I don't have the resources to build one myself

As titled, the keycap looks really nice and I want to buy one too!

Hello,
i need some help.
I flashed the pro micro's with the default rev1 keymap. make lily58/rev1:default:avrdude.

If i test both side separate (via USB), they send keycodes. The right half has the layout from the left half.

If i connect the left half via USB and connect both sides with the trrs cabel (4pole), left works, but right sends no keycode.
Any idea what the problem could be?

Disabled the backlight in the rule.mk, desoldered the bridges for the oled.

Hi there,

Would it be possible to upload a STP or DXF file of the PCB? Thanks!

Hi! I have a problem.

I have hot swap sockets for pro-micros. I've tried 3 different pro-micro combinations still the problem remains.

My guess is, maybe I've damaged this conduction "road". Can you please advise if I can connect the damaged circuit with a wire directly from pro micro pin to TRRS jack? If yes, which one should I connect?

Hi, my underglow is on on both sides, and everting is working fine, but the right side is not receiving any of the rgb commands, so one the left side is rainbow and the right is static red.

Any idea why could this be happening?

It would be great to see what the difference between pro and lite v2 is at a glance.
(as far as I can see these are the two generally available options now).

Hi, I am HaWay from Taiwan,

I would like to know if I can manufacture Lily58 in Taiwan, what is your licenses fee? I also had sent a twitter message to you.

Thanks.

Kailhロープロファイル対応と書いてあると思うのですが、

I've created a gerber file, using this guide, of the Lily58 Pro top plate (attached) and sent it to JLCPCB for production, but they say:

There are too many small slots in your file , it will take too much time to get it finished during the routing process.

How can I remedy this?

Seems like I can't upload the gerber zip file to GitHub, I've uploaded it here: https://fireglow.de/755/gerberTOP.zip

Can not connect the computer directly with the double-headed type-c, and the keyboard is no power.

Some distributor adds rotary encoder to Lily. Unfortunately, they kept the PCB Data secrets.

I am new to this mechanical keyboard world. If only this repo has additional PCB design with a rotary encoder, or at least a fork. I will feel happy. If those companies went out of business. We can just order our own somewhere else.

I feel I just want to stick with Lily58 for a long period. Replace with another Lily if broken.

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for open sourcing this project.

How should those files be used to produce the plates / case ?

I see that the case or the plates are in .ai format - how can those files be used for CNC machining ? Usually it requires extensions like STEP, IGES, SLDPRT, 3DM, IPT, SAT

Kicad allows to export in STEP format but when exporting, I get error message "Cannot determine the board outline" for file Lily58_Pro_BOTTOM.kicad_pcb.

Thanks !

What's the difference between Pro Rev1 and Pro Rev2?

Hello,

Would you accept a pull request for the lily58 (standard) build guide in english ?

If not thats okay. Please let me know.

I'm looking for a good tact switch for the Lily58 Pro. What is the length the switch should be? Which one did you use?

It seems to be easier to solder :)

Mentioned Guide: https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58/blob/master/Pro/Doc/buildguide_en.md

When I was first building this board. I flashed both sides by accident. Then only flashed changes to keymap on the left side.

I was wondering why the lily58 keymap with encoder causes the right side to fail and not register keystrokes. When I removed encoder code from keymap it would work.

After hours of troubleshooting, it turns out all I needed to do is flash encoder keymap to both pro micros individually. Now encoder and right side works as well!

Newbies may get stuck at this not knowing that whatever they flash to one side they have to flash to the other in order to ensure everything works!

Hello, I have problems with gerbers. I download the project and open it in kicad 6.
I run DRC and get various errors.

I follow these instructions:
https://support.jlcpcb.com/article/194-how-to-generate-gerber-and-drill-files-in-kicad-6

With the gerbers generated, I open them with kicad's gerber viewer. I get this:

So that several layers are incomplete. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
i added your keyboards to my awesome-mechanical-keyboard list.
Thank you for sharing this great keyboards.

Hi,

I have installed the pro micro on the incorrect pads, and now i can not flash the pro micro,
I am not testing the keyboard right now, but only trying to flash the firmware. I am getting "can not connect to programmer" or "no device found"

The outline of the PCB is open preventing step file export and breaking the 3D viewer.

If you manually adjust the outline to make the 3D viewer work, the step export will still break with the following messages.

hi, i soldered some ws2812 led strips to the pins but how do I make them glow ?
EDIT: i found it! I used mikefightsbears mapping and it workds now.. only for the left side but maybe that is the wiring ..

thanks!

Been a big fan of Keeb.io Iris keyboard. Only things I desired for it were per key RGB, and I wish there was a single thumb key and single index key.. which the Lily58 design seems to have.

But.. Iris as of rev4 integrated the controller into the PCB so no more ugly controller chip sticking out and easy to damage. The new Rev6 (just released) now adds hot swap and per key RGB integrated in to the PCB. Literally no longer need to do any soldering.. which for some may be an issue.. but for many of us we just want a great keyboard with the ability to choose switches and caps.

I would like to know if there is any chance an updated Lily58 PCB can be created that does what Iris Rev 6 did.. integrate the controllers on each half, the per key RGB and the MX hot swap sockets.

With that, I think I personally would have my absolute favorite keyboard. Love my Iris.. but miss the Model 01 tab/enter keys for index fingers.. which Lily58 provides. Please make it happen. I'd pay $80 for that PCB which is what the Iris Rev6 with everything in it sells for.

Are there available I2C pins for additional devices? If not, would it be possible to solder the I2C directly onto the Pro Micro?

When ordering manufacturing of the Pro PCBs, I ran into some issues:

• the MX hotswap socket holes have a 0.1mm hole inside them which shouldn't be there (see screenshot)
• all footprints reference Lily58-footprint library instead of Lily58_Pro-footprint
• the switch footprints reference CherryMX_KailhLowProfile_Hotswap_Edge, I guess they should be MX_Choc_Hotswap from the Pro library

The issue with the extra holes is most severe, because having holes smaller than 0.3mm in the drill file raises cost of PCB manufacturing. Even though they don't actually make sense, since they are inside bigger holes.

I don't know how the footprint libraries got so mixed up. If you don't have it sorted on your machine waiting to be commited, I'd be happy to submit a PR.

lily58-cache:. files are not cross platform and cause issues with Windows. Suggest deleting from repo and adding -cache: to ignore files as they are unnecessary temp files.

Hi! I tried to order the PCBs from a fab shop I've used before but it looks like the gerber only has the copper traces. Would you be willing to upload gerbers with all the necessary layers? Or if you could let me know how it's supposed to be done in KiCad if that's were you designed it. I really love the board you've made.

I am not sure that my garber file is correct..🥺
