-
- Natural Ergonomic Keyboard, Type A
-
- Keyboard Maintainer: [Mike Roberts](https://github.com/ecopoesis)
- Hardware Supported: Custom PCBs from https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a
- Hardware Availability: https://github.com/ecopoesis/nek-type-a
-
- ## Design
-
- This is a column-driven split keyboard using three custom PCBs connected with ribbon cables. The left and right PCBs are
- passive: they only have the diodes and switches needed to make the matrix. The center PCB has an Adafruit Feather 32u4 and
- MCP23017 expander.
-
- The left matrix has its rows and columns directly connected to the Feather. The right matrix has its rows connect to the
- Feather (using the same pins as the left matrix) and its columns connected to the expander. The expander uses the LUFA
- hardware TWI driver.
-
- Bluetooth is enabled.
-
