I love what you're doing! It's quite a niche topic, but I think when the keyboard world finds you you'll have plenty of success, because your ideas and video quality are already brilliant
this is definitely one of those channels destined for 100K+ subs, amazing amazing quality! hope to see more videos from you, the algorithm gods will definitely bless you if you keep consistent. thank you again for the amazing content!
Would be great if it had a tiny display aside from the rotary encoder to show which layer it is on. Nevertheless a fantastic tool. Btw, I love your channel.
A few questions from someone new to this. Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to solder the hotswap sockets? Also, would an Arduino Nano work in place of the Pro Micro? (I can change the model to fit it) Lastly, what specifications matter on the diodes, as the ones linked are not available in the US.
Hello, could you make an more precise "tutorial" on how to use the hotswap V2 ? For the V1 you actually showed how to use them , but the V2 are so different o0
on 2:20 you can see that the wire is bent over that pin a bit and i got that by mistake when making the diagram. I already updated that in the github page but its not possible to change the video. so yes it is B4
hey men thank u for make a good content.. can u help me. I wondering to know how to make SSD enclosure, what ic i use for that. and minimum components for build that. can u help me for got some reference for that.. thx
Yes you could qmk does support this, in the w65 i did add 2 rotary encoders. There are adapters to place rotary encoders into normal switch sockets if you want to add another to this case
@@JanLunge Heyy, sorry I'm coming late to the question 😅. I'm creating a macro with 4 encoders, they way you wired yours is you are connecting 3 pins of the encoder to the board, (padA, padB and row I believe) In case of multiple encoders, how would that map out? I'm thinking maybe all the padA, and padB pins are connected within each other and to the board, and then each encoder is connected to a new column maybe? Not really sure how it would look like and how many pins each encoder takes, could you help me out with that please?
@@julianbonomini5883 each encoder has 2 pads (pad-a and pad-b) and a ground pin for the rotation function pad a and b need to be directly wired to the controller and are used just for that one encoder so for 4 encoders you need 8 pins and one ground pin. The click of the encoders when you press them is just a switch with 2 pins on the other side and you can wire them directly or in a matrix with the rest of the switches that will decide how many pins are needed for them
hi fantastic video , iam also following this to make my own macro pad, but I wanted to add a tiny display also , is it possible on this one to do so ? thanks
Haha yeah you need to be kinda quick or it starts to burn, make sure your soldering tip is prepared I got some solder tip reactivator online which helped then the tip conducts the heat better. I usually put a drop of solder on the tip before i get near the plastic piece.
First of all thank you very much for your videos. Thanks to them I was able to install VIAL on another macro pad (2x4 with encoder). I am having difficulties changing the functions of the encoder in VIAL, your folder would be very useful. I'm having a hard time finding it "3by2 Rotary" (I hope I'm not blind) Solved, "VIAL_ENCODERS_ENABLE = yes" not activated in the rules
If you mean the firmware folder, it is now in github.com/wlard/vial-qmk/blob/vial/keyboards/wlard/w3by2 in the config.h you can find the encoder config + the keymaps/via/vial.json for the vial gui config

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. Now i can make this for my self...
Will definitely be trying this one out. Awesome project. Thanks for Sharing!
These videos are amazing! Thanks for sharing!

So glad you uploaded this :))))))))))
How did you get the turning of your encoders to appear in Vial I cannot for the life of me get it to work!
Same here, did you figure it out?
@@inaudableyeh Afraid I did not. I ended up just changing my keymap and flashing that with that with QMK.
At 3:29 in figure he show he has connected in E6 but in config.h file its B4 idk y as in show figure nothing is connected in B4
It may be that the .json is not right. You can look at the documentation: get.vial.today/docs/encoders.html
[
{ "y": 0.25, "x": 0.5 },
"0,0
e",
"0,1
e"]
(I think the "x" "y" values will be different)
How can i add an 0.96" oled dispaly in this setup??

which diode u r using i cant find it can u please help me with it
What rotary encoder did you use for this? I can't seem to find any mention of it in the github repo or in this video.
sorry forgot to link those www.amazon.de/dp/B08728PS6N here they are
How did you do the ctr+z? I am looking to add the to a keypress and later a knob.
Whow!
Can you add multiple rotary switch in this?
Yes you could qmk does support this, in the w65 i did add 2 rotary encoders. There are adapters to place rotary encoders into normal switch sockets if you want to add another to this case

I haven’t worked with displays yet but it’s technically possible.
very cool
every time a try to solder my own, everything else melts except the solder wire. lol dont understand how you did it
Haha yeah you need to be kinda quick or it starts to burn, make sure your soldering tip is prepared I got some solder tip reactivator online which helped then the tip conducts the heat better. I usually put a drop of solder on the tip before i get near the plastic piece.
Hi , would you please share .stl file of that LED spacer?
Sadly I lost the file for this one when Fusion360 crashed :(
What's the finish on the 3d case?
Thats just a lot of sanding, acrylic spray paint RAL 3020 and clearcoat

@@JanLunge Thank you very much again. achieved. But now my keymap has messed up 😅, tomorrow I'll review what I did...
ea
Is wlard_3by2_via.hex already support for vial?
Yes
