Adam0110b
The modularity of the second art The deep integration of two modules
When we try to integrate the two sub-modules further in order to get a more capable and rigid keyboard, the quick-release mechanism will no longer be the choice. The integration of the functionality will be taken to a new level.
One of our first concepts was the “baby” fullsize Adam0110b, which combines two modules and uses 99% of the parts from the original Adam and Addams kit. It also offers two layout options, with a left- or right-positioned Numpad.
Adam0110b New PCB
The Cores should have the ability to transmit data and be powered by one cable
.
The early developed PCB64 for Adam did not feature an extension socket. Since July 2023, we have upgraded all Core64 kits with the new PCB type-a, which is ready for Project 0110’s modular application.
PCB type-a has a socket for internal connection on each side with different marks. Please connect the wire to the same marks.
The later released Kit Addams including the PCB type-b is developed under the latest technical guidelines which features suckets for internal data transmission. In the figure, connections in common positions are demonstrated.
HOW TO FIX TOOLS
