Fluxon.
The quantum of magnetic fields. In SIS
(superconductor-insulator-superconductor) junctions, a
Fluxon manifests as a Josephon Vortex (a vortex of
circulating supercurrents). In T2 Superconductors, a
Fluxon manifests as a Abrikosov Vortex, or a small normal
circulation of supercurrents around the normal core of a
superconducting phase.
Introduction
Hi there guys!
Gondo
her again for (yet) another PCB.
Nothing special about
this, no huge wall of text with detailed technical
description of how I came up with a horrendously complicated
result (phew! Quakemz approves) and no big takes. I just
have a Vortex Core which is a wonderful keyboard, specially
for the price. It’s portable, very usable, nice look and
construction, but I am honestly done with trying to type
portuguese on it; as you guys might know, to type in
portuguese we need some accents and special characters like
the grave ~ and cedilla ç. I have to use a four-key
combination for both which looks like I’m conjuring a
ninjutsu and releasing a demon samurai out of my desk.
Programmability on the VCore is close to nonexistant (yeah I
know you can re-program it but it’s horrible).
The
ATOM47 PCB is not available to purchase, so I’m making this
one. It is gonna happen one way or the other, so I thought
why not check if people are interested in this. The PCB is
almost done; files can be seen at
https://github.com/AcheronProject/Fluxon
.
Layouts
Another big issue (in
my opinion) is the default layout. The 175-275 split
spacebar bottom row is less-than-stellar to use and let’s
face it, no one needs three modifiers to use their keyboard
(maybe someone does? No idea). So I included a 6.25u and a
7u layout too. Also offering a full 2.25u right shift and a
2u backspace.
The idea is to also offer replacement
FR4/steel plates that cover these new layouts.
When, where, how much
Prototyping right now, if we go into GB phase it’s
gonna happen in 2 months in
SpaceCat
aka Weltraumkatze Designs for something around 40-50 USD
(can be lower)
Other characteristics
- In the place of the colored indicators the VCore has I put three SK6812-minis which can be used with QMK as layer indicators, lock indicators, or simply pretty lights.
- No LEDs. I don’t need it, you don’t need it, Vortex don’t need it.
- ARM processor, ESD protection, open-source.
- Micro USB connector because that is all the case supports (I know it sucks, but a USBC won’t fit)
- Dank-ass synthwave-inspired logo, dank-ass solid state physics-inspired name, nerdy designer and beautiful vendor (the best interaction between Brazil and Germany since the World Cup 7x1)
-
Early previews*
TLDR and closing thoughts
- Vortex Core replacement PCB using ARM, QMK, VIA, ESD, micro USB, RGB indicators, and all those acronyms we love.
- Need to know if there are people in for this. I’m gonna design and make this anyway
- Aiming at 40USD, possible GB in 2 months time
- Mom told me she learned of my name in the community, that she reads all my ICs/GBs and she’s proud. So just for you, I love you mom.
