Project moved to Pillz Mod
This project has been replaced by Pillz Mod: https://github.com/dcpedit/pillzmod
This is a fork of Michael Stapelberg's KinT project with the following modifications:
- Replaced Teensy with STM32F411 Blackpill controller (
blackpilldirectory) - Reduced PCB size to 100 x 86 mm
- Use Vial firmware. Source code is in my fork of Vial
Located in the directory /blackpill/production
| Component | Qty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| SMD LEDs | 4 | Can be any color Link |
| SMD 10k resistors | 4 | Link |
| Molex 13 pin connectors | 4-6 | Needed if you don't want to desolder old ones Link |
| STM32F411 Blackpill | 1 | AliExpress Link |
| Panel mount USB-C | 1 | Amazon Link |
| Socketed headers | Only needed if you want to socket your Blackpill. |
You can now use the Pillbug dev board along with ZMK firware to make this a wireless mod. Basically, just swap out the Blackpill with a Pillbug and add a battery.
| Component | Qty | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pillbug | 1 | MechWild Link |
| 2000 mAh battery | 1 | Amazon Link |
v2022-08-05 of the PCB requires you to bridge the 3.3v pins with a wire. You can do this easily after soldering the controller in place and tacking a short wire with stripped ends to the existing solder joints on the same side as the LEDs/resistors. The diagram below shows you which pins.
The current version in the repo does not require this.
If you're using a battery that's larger than 500 mAh, short JP1 on the back of the Pillbug to enable "Charge Boost" (changes charge rate from 100mA to 500mA)
