Piantor Split Keyboard Kit

Description

The Piantor Keyboard is a beginner-friendly, easy-to-solder, 42-key or 36-key, diodeless, low profile aggressive column staggered, hotswappable and non-hotswappable, programmable ergonomic mechanical split keyboard powered by Raspberry Pi Pico, Pico W or other compatible RP2040 boards.
The improved case has threaded inserts for better durability.


Raspberry Pi Pico, switches and keycaps are not included.

It is based on the Cantor Keyboard.

Features:

  • Support for Choc V1 switches
  • Beginner friendly (less soldering, precompiled VIAL firmware, Gui to change layout)
  • Breakable pinky column (42-key to 36-key) inkl. case is only for 42-keys
  • QMK and VIAL firmware support.
  • Open source 

 

Build-Guide 

 

Kit includes:

  • Left and right pcb
  • 2x Top plates (FR4 black 1.6mm)
  • 3D printed case (black PLA) with threaded M2 inserts

Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 ARM (Board Only)
Raspberry Pi Pico RP2040 ARM (Board Only)

A low cost, high-performance microcontroller board built around Raspberry Pi's very own chip - the RP2040. Raspberry Pi Pico is Raspberry Pi's first microcontroller board, designed especially for physical computing. Microcontrollers are a different type of device than Single Board Computers (like the Raspberry Pi Zero and previous generations of Pi), they don't run an operating system and they are typically programmed to do just one task - though that task can be pretty intricate and exciting! They're perfect for experimenting with hardware and using as the brains of custom devices, machines and inventions. It can be easily reprogrammed over USB from a Raspberry Pi or other computer using the C/C++ SDK or the official MicroPython port. The landing page is the best place to get started, or scroll down for links to the technical documentation for both the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller board and the RP2040 microcontroller chip. This is the unsoldered version. It comes without header pins so you'll need to pick some up separately if you're planning on plugging your Pico into into a breadboard or one of our Raspberry Pi Pico add-ons.   Board Specifications Raspberry Pi Pico is a low-cost, high-performance microcontroller board with flexible digital interfaces, built on silicon designed at Raspberry Pi. Key features include: RP2040 microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi in the United Kingdom Dual-core ARM Cortex M0+ processor, flexible clock running up to 133 MHz 264kB of SRAM, and 2MB of on-board Flash memory Castellated module allows soldering direct to carrier boards USB 1.1 Host and Device support Low-power sleep and dormant modes Drag & drop programming using mass storage over USB 26 multi-function GPIO pins 2×SPI, 2×I2C, 2×UART, 3×12-bit ADC, 16×controllable PWM channels Accurate clock and timer on-chip Temperature sensor Accelerated floating point libraries on-chip 8×Programmable IO (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support Documentation Documentation for the Raspberry Pi Pico board and the RP2040 microcontroller: Raspberry Pi Pico Datasheet - An RP2040-based microcontroller board RP2040 Datasheet - A microcontroller by Raspberry Pi Hardware design with the RP2040 - Using the RP2040 microcontroller to build boards and products Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico - C/C++ development with the Pico and other RP2040-based microcontroller boards Pico C/C++ SDK - Libraries and tools for C/C++ development on the RP2040 microcontroller Pico Python SDK - A MicroPython environment for the RP2040 microcontroller The API level Doxygen documentation for the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK is available as a micro-site.
