Hello GH,
I have been working on an Ergodox PCB, that has a few features that are missing in current offerings. I am an Ergodox user, and really love it. The only thing I wanted was it to be truly wireless. So I modified the Ergodox PCB to support Blue-micro from u/jpconstantineau . I was happy with what I had, but wanted to do more. So I have made some more modification and now want to run an IC.
Main features

  • Support for Alps Switch, Case files available for Alps only and MX Only switch plates.
  • Supports Pro Micro, Proton C ( split WIP at QMK end), BlueMicro, NRF Micro.
  • USB C with ESD Protection.
  • No Extra IO extender chip, uses two MCUs connected over serial.
    About Bluetooth support
  • NRF Micro and Blue Micro both are supported to allow the keyboard to work in bluetooth mode.
  • Both NRF Micro and Blue Micro will require assembly, and some extra hardware. Due to the nature of certification, I wont be able to provide these MCUs, and you will have to get them on your own.
  • Both MCUs are based on Nordic Bluetooth module E73 and do not work over USB. So they will be Bluetooth only.
    Blue-Micro is developed by u/jpconstantineau
    Nrf micro is developed by u/iamjoric
    PCB is based off the original PCB from from Ergodox-io
    Case is based off the Acrylic case from Lister

    Update 1: 1u, 1.5u outer column is updated on the pcb, will be reflected in next IC
    Currently working on the OG Ergodox Mounting holes to make it more compatible with existing case, but MCU position may not allow use of old cases still.
