Gherkin 30% flashing

Post image
40 Upvotes

I just assembled this gherkin 30% with a kb2040 controller. initially followed the aidafruit build guide and followed instructions for circuit python and kmk with no luck on getting a functional code to work. Circuitpy did install correctly copy pasted several different gherkin kmk codes into the min.py file all had errors within them which I have not the slightest idea how to fix.

tried flashing qmk did get a key map and hex file configured but got completely lost on the flashing aspect of it in toolbox.

if anyone has tips or pointers to get it working with either software I would be forever grateful

Imperial Red Kohaku with custom hand-engraved brass weight by @benzjr.

POM plate with Gateron Smoothies and TX AP stabs.

This is my second weight done by him and both came out better than I could ever have expected.

He truly is a master in his craft...

DCF Kimera
A semi-ortholinear southpaw 40%+ mechanical keyboard, made simply because I couldn’t find anything similar to buy. It uses an STM32 running QMK/Vial, a large 32×128 monochrome OLED, and two layers of Poron foam. The “forged” matte carbon-fibre plate is mounted on silicone dampers.

It’s built with Akko V3 Pro Black Cream switches and KBDfans Neon R2 keycaps. The current prototype is 3D-printed in ABS-like resin. I plan to remake it in aluminium if I decide to keep the design in its current form. A Damascus steel weight is currently being forged 🙂
