Very happy with how the parts for protoMIDI turned out! The PCBs and 3D prints look great. A big thank you to @PCBWayOfficial for sponsoring the project and for the excellent service! Turn-around was as they indicated and prints came with threaded inserts installed. I've got ZMK running, but going to play around with the firmware more after some minor design updates.

Sunday morning, sipping coffee while it rains, and I’m finalizing another project for manufacturing. protoMIDI is an nRF52840-based MIDI/macropad controller with PB86-B1 switches, encoders, LEDs, and BLE/battery support. The goal is one hardware platform that can run either keyboard/macropad or MIDI controller firmware. It started as a hand-wired prototype. Now it’s becoming a proper enclosure and PCB using THT components only, which turned out to be more of a challenge than expected.

@Makr3D @PCBWayOfficial Just a prototype run. I want to increase the wall thickness and explore other materials. But these parts work well enough to be functional

@diedasman @PCBWayOfficial Threaded inserts arriving installed changes the whole prototype experience. The real test now is whether the enclosure tolerances survive a second and third batch without hand fitting. Are these prints the final material or just for the prototype run?

@0xkozue Nice! I've gone through the same exercise. Design, build, test and iterate to V2- all part of the dev cycle x.com/diedasman/stat…

crazy how much you learn from actually building something instead of planning it forever. this tiny prototype taught me way more than I expected and now i already have a long list for v2. i. custom PCB with cool silkscreen art. ii. double the size. iii. mechanical switches instead of tactile ones. iv. rotary encoders + sliders. v. better USB-C integration. vi. a proper enclosure. vii. LEDs?? maybe viii. cleaner firmware with layers, macros, and way more customization.

@i2cjak are you using a off the shelf part for those sliders? How will they remain in place?

whereas my current webcam takes up like 95x42mm, my DIY cam (with the USB stuff hidden behind the monitor) will only take up 25x20mm. Uses a Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Sensor Assembly. KiCad library for this part in reply!!!

if you cut a piece of wood with a cnc do you say: "i cut this" or "the cnc cut this" if you code a solution with an ai agent do you say: "i coded this" or "the agent coded this" your answer affects the future of humanity

The prototype era is over. 16,000+ people believed in our idea. So we made it real. New PCBs, new brand, and everything unlocked during the campaign packed inside: NFC, RFID, IR, the ESP32 P4 + C5 and more. This is the new Kode Dot.

@i2cjak Makes sense to raise your rate if you can complete the job faster than competitors. The customer should pay for the time value, not the tokens spent. Tokens spent is not proportianal to time saved or value added

should a consultant charge a customer per token he uses? or is this just part of cost of doing business? is it time? materials? i don't know. it speeds up my work so much
