Description

Programmable compact keyboard

README

Octave

The Octave is a 12-key macropad. It is primarily designed to be a compact keyboard with support for 12 function keys (F1 - F12).

Status

• prototype-3.1: Upgrade with LEDs under keys
  • LED Animation
  • PCB: OK!
• prototype-3: Simple design
  • Enclosure: OK!
  • Test: OK!
  • PCB: OK!
• prototype-2: Custom MCU board
  • Consideration
  • Test
  • PCB
• prototype-1

Specifications

• USB-C (USB2.0, HID)
  • 🔗 https://pid.codes/1209/8CAE/
• Hot-swap sockets for MX compatible switches
• Programmable firmware (CircuitPython)
