Maybe that reseller could just stock it? 😉

Perfect timing by @arturo182.bsky.social ! If you're looking for a gift for your nerd friends this holiday season, get them a KeebDeck Basic!
We will be using the KeebDeck Keyboard again for the 2026 badge of Fri3d.be after selling out in no time in 2024.

2 apple slices cut in the shape of the number 8. As requested by my wife, or so I thought...

Apparently not what she meant when she asked me to "cut the apple in 8" 🤷
(Why only 2 slices you ask? She stopped me 🫣)

Announcing The 2025 Hackaday Superconference Communicator Badge It’s the moment you hard-core hardware nerds have been waiting for: the reveal of the 2025 Hackaday Supercon Communicator Badge. And this year, we’ve outdone ourselves, but that’s thanks to help fr…

The @hackadayofficial.bsky.social Supercon Badge this year will feature a KeebDeck derivative! ⌨️

Those types of pliers also exist with adjustable force. Which might be better for your use case.

Luckily there's a better alternative. Hello @lectronz.com ! 👋

Whatever feels clear. I sometimes draw a box around them and a box around the components. Or a line in front connected to a line in front of the passives (in case of a single row)
Or just remove them and use an assembly drawing 😆

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

If you want this poster to remind you to slow down you can get it by following me and @cyborggarbage.bsky.social October 6 on the Goshwassociation 12 hour Livestream! Any new members or donations of any size will get you a cool slow sloth riso poster! Woohoo! 💾⚙️🦥

You'll be dancing in no time! (Unless you don't want to dance... 🧐)

Great time to buy Solder Party boards from Pimoroni!

A bag of Lego bricks with a shipping note.

Kudos to their support. Lego sent replacement parts, no questions asked!

(also make sure you get enough feeders since those would cost more than the machine possibly ;-) )

Hmm. You do need space around those machines for reels / air compressor / clean workspace b so that does make it tricky. But at that price point... Maybe ask around at the local Hackerspace If they've got some room?

Yes

Cut off a piece of solder wick. Don't use the whole roll.
Flux is your friend
Use the right type of lead free solder
Use the right solder tip for the task (and solder station with the best handle / power rating for the task)

There is something wrong with the blue Lego bricks from a few years back... They seem way more brittle than their white, red or black equivalent bricks.

A table with black fabric on it, and lots of A4 sheets with text on it. Each sheet describes a project, and there are PCBs and products on the sheets too.

Photo from above so the 9 sheets are seen. There are also some stickers.

Today we're at KiCon, the @kicad.org conference, showcasing our past, present, and future products!

Of course the biggest focus is on #KeebDeck 😊

Closeup on each column below.

So you can easily stuff a higher value in case the lines are too noisy to pass certification (think about series resistors in DDR or SPI lines which tend to be 22~33R) or for alternative stuffing options. Variant A connects pin to option 1, variant B to option 2.

Curious about our upcoming KeebDeck products (www.keebdeck.com)?

Find us at KiCon in Bochum, Germany later this week, we’ll be showing off those boards and more!

A box with a lot of assembled KeebDeck Basics.

Anyone here into keyboards?

Especially not if you use that time to launch a new PCB design 😆

I agree, not what you should do for all your devices. An upgrade of this board could include a configurable efuse as protection or selectable CC resistors to negotiate something other than the 5V 1.5A as it currently does.

Adafruit USB Type C CC Resistor Fixer Do you have any devices with USB C connections that don't seem to power or work when plugged into another USB C port? Chances are, the designers skimped a few pennies or just forgot to ...

If I recall correctly, @adafruit.com made a fix for that.

And can even change during the production lifetime of a specific LED... 🤦 So you even have to make sure you've got the right version of the datasheet!

Says the person with a successful opensource company selling his designs worldwide and keeps on innovating? You might not be great at everything (no one can) but don't forget you're already great at what you're doing!

i reverse-engineered the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5! check it out at github.com/schlae/cm5-r...

Woo, this will make it really easy to integrate the KeebDeck in a Cyber Deck or to customize it (thinking out loud: foldable cover, TPU bumpers, lanyard hole, ...)
