A modified version of the Reviung41 PCB by gtips, designed to fit in a stacked acrylic case made by opsecPANDA in collaboration with dazon.
Modified by dazon and Rossman360, the PCB has the following differences from the original Reviung41:
- Controller footprint rotated and moved underneath a switch
- Top edge of PCB is now flat across
- MX switch footprint
- Diode footprint is THT+SMD combo
- RGB strip header added (SMD LED footprints were not removed)
Case files were designed to each be 3mm acrylic. The files names refer to a number in the beginning to label their order in the stack, and the “--x1” to denote how many of that specific file type you need to have. I.e. “4-mid layer–x2.dxf” means you need to cut or 3D print or otherwise create 2 layers of this one.
- 1-top top–x1.dxf
- 2-top lower--x1.dxf
- 3-switch plate–x1.dxf
- 4-mid layer with risers–x1.dxf
- 4-mid layer–x2.dxf
- 5-bottom plate–x1.dxf
If you want to mimic my original “top color & bottom color” mix&match, you want to have layers 1 and 2 be Color A and, the remainders be Color B. If you want to do an “RGB layer” you should actually have both “4-mid layer–x2.dxf” layers be something like white, off-white, opal, glass or just clear.
The case is designed to use the following hardware:
- 16 m2 case screws - 8mm length
- 8 m2 case spacers - 10mm length
- 3 m2 riser nuts
- 3 m2 riser screws - 12mm length
- 41 diodes - 1N4148, through hole (TR) or SMD
- 1 tactile reset switch - PTS635SH43LFS
When flashing for this board, you want to treat it as a Reviung41. You can create a keymap with the online QMK Configurator under the Reviung41 selection. If you want to use VIA, flash it with the “reviung41_via.hex”. You can use a nice!nano and flash with a reviung41 shield.
- Flash controller, make sure it’s detecting properly as a reviung41.
- Solder diodes and reset switch. Black line on diode points towards square pad on PCB. Reset switch does not have directionality.
- Solder LEDs or LED strip if you're using any.
- Solder controller pins or controller hotswap sockets to the keyboard PCB. Do not solder the CONTROLLER yet, just the pins.
- Put your switches in the switch plate and solder them to the PCB.
- Solder controller. Check the image below to confirm the controller orientation is correct before you solder.
- Assemble case.
