What is this?
This
controller replaces original controller of Leopold
FC980C and make it programmable with my TMK
firmware. Keymap Editor is also offered for ease of use.
Note: R4 and C10 are intentionally unpopulated.
Original controller of FC980C looks like this, for
reference.

I’ll share technical infos and findings I get in this
project with community, also firmware source codes also will
be published as opensource/freesoftware under GPL,
immedately as possible. I don’t decide it yet but controller
PCB design files will be shared under license like
CC-BY-NC-SA after certain term. I believe this GB can
contribute to keyboard community to some extent in terms of
these points.
You can discuss technical topics here:

Post your question or suggestion here. You can email me if really needed.
Thanks
Production will be closing
Demand for this controller is very little now, next
round won’t happen anymore. I’ll stop producing this
controller when components in hand runs out. At least 24 pcs
can be assembled before the shutdown, it is enough for
demand for several months probably.
You can still get
this controller from Letfover sale, see below.

How to install

sticker
and unscrew three bolts on bottom.
Crack it open using tool like phone openner or
plastic card with care.
Mate/unmate connector
Cable harness between boards is very short and you
have to be careful when mate/unmate it.
See this instruction to handle this connector:

ATmega32U4 as a microcontroller. Press
button on bottom to turn into programming mode.

To flash firmware you need tool like FLIP or
dfu-programmer, refer to this wiki page for detail.

Build from source codes
Build
firmwre yourself when TMK Keymap Editor is not enough for
your need.
You can find source codes here:
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/keyboard/fc980c
Check wiki for how to build firmware:

Next batch of pcbs will be ordered and assembled in next
several weeks.
You can get controller from this batch
now.(2017/07/28)

Update:
2017/07/28 controllers were tested
and ready, they will be shipped in a week.
MOQ(Minimum Order Quantity) is 15
and closing date is 15 July. (
Some extras will come you can still order.)
(We hit the MOQ!!!! 07/03)
Once orders reach the mark I will buy the keyboard
and start development immediately, it will take one or two
month. This GB won’t happen and your money is fully refunded
unless the MOQ is met til the closing date. I’m almost
confident that I’m able to do this job but you are also
fully refunded if I fail to deliver controller for whatever
reason. I think there is virtually no risk for you to join
this.
