Many thanks to

  • Stapelberg - Double mention as I ported his debouncing used in his KinX controller to Matt's firmware.
  • Matt Vilim - New firmware is a fork of his FeatherCtrl project.
  • Adafruit - Great documentation, libs and support.
  • afriggeri - The original firmware borrowed heavily from his Blanck Keyboard project.
  • Stapelberg - Michael Stapelberg's custom controller inspired this project. His PCB routing was inspirational.
  • Humble Hacker - Detailed write-up helped me understand the keyboard matrix.
  • PCBgogo - All the boards were made by these guys. Fast turn-around.
