# Dactyl 56

This repository contains the ZMK firmware configuration and STL files for my wireless Dactyl 5x6 keyboard build.

![dactyl 56](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siddhantk232/dactyl/main/imgs/final_build.jpg)

## STL files

The STL files are generated using https://ryanis.cool/cosmos/. You can access my configuration using [this link][3dprintconfig].

## ZMK

The keymap defined in [./config/dactyl_56.keymap](./config/dactyl_56.keymap) is outdated since I have shifted to using zmk-studio to be able to change the mapping without re-flashing.

Sadly, zmk-studio does not provide a way to export your config to a file for reproducability. This means I will loose my keymap when I re-flash the firmware. This is not exactly true as explained [in this issue comment][zmk-studio-issue-comment], but I am not aware if it is possible to backup the on board keymap as of writing this.

## Sourcing the hardware

If you are looking to build a similar project and you live in India then the following table might help you.

## Resources

You can visit the following links if you want to learn more about the build process.

- [The original dactyl project](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard). This is great to learn more about the design of the dactyl style of keyboards. I highly recommend watching [the talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4).
- [Dactyl Manuform build stream on YouTube by Kevin Eckert](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJcTwFs4jAY0VnJDXhexZw7X3OIjXQkiY). This is where I got the idea of using copper tape for connecting the columns of the keyboard. The video series features a wired build but most of it applies to the wireless variant as well.
- [This Reddit Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/mkindia/comments/odiql9/dactyl_manuform_5x6_no_imports_budget_build_less/). It shares a few tips for "Looping" the diodes and using a mini breadboard for soldering the microcontroller header pins which I adopted.
- [Dactyl Manuform Repo](https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform). The readme contains wiring diagrams that helped me during the actual build process.
- [ZMK Docs](https://zmk.dev/docs) is pretty much the only resource I used to configure the firmware. The project is very well documented.
- [nice!nano v2 pin diagram](https://nicekeyboards.com/docs/nice-nano/pinout-schematic).
