Wireless Chocofi

Sourced from Beekeeb, using vanilla Miryoku for keymap, totally wireless with ZMK + MIP displays. Using MBK blanks and Choc Robins, with Netdot Gen 10 magnetic connectors for charging.

Compared to the Piantor, the innermost thumb buttons are a bit more offset but all thumbs seem to be closer which I prefer. Solid layout, may be my favorite.

How are hte MIP displays?

robotdna@toast.ooo · 6 pts · 2y

They're really fun. I like them especially for things like:

  • battery life
  • charging status
  • is my Bluetooth connection working
  • are the halves talking to each other
  • what Miryoku mode I'm in (fun, not really functionally helpful)
  • what Bluetooth slot I currently have active, and if other slots are cleared or paired to a device. Miryoku tracks 4 slots.

Oh, one funny downside to this board is that because it's so absurdly energy efficient, I've found a few battery chargers (e.g. Anker) don't detect it as enough current draw to charge them lmao. Not a deal breaker, just amusing.

+1 to the MIP display question. Is it a nice!view or something else?

I assume you are using nice!nano's as well?

robotdna@toast.ooo · 5 pts · 2y

Correct, socketed nice!nanos with socketed nice!views

Did you use the case off beekeeb? I'm building a chocofi soon and I'm using the case on the github and I'm trying to figure out what size screw I'm meant to use to assemble the case

robotdna@toast.ooo · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It is indeed the Beekeeb case, maybe the part list of the build kit on the website lists the size?

Corr@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

I just emailed them asking about it, since I couldn't see anywhere that mentioned them beyond (screws) on the site

Do you know if I can use the MIP displays on an nRF52840 Sweep? (it's a SuperMini nice!nano clone)

robotdna@toast.ooo · 1 pts · 2y

I'm not sure, although if it's truly a clone, why wouldn't it work?
