Product Usage Instructions

Assembly

  1. For right-handed Numpad assembly, follow Step 4-6. For left-handed Numpad assembly, follow Step 4(L)-6(L).
  2. Attach 4 base plates to Adam0110b.
  3. Put the gaskets on. For left-handed Numpad, use the gasket position indicated for (L).
  4. Put both Cores in.
  5. Attach rubber feet and check the sit.

Firmware Installation The Numpad requires the correct firmware for different connections.

  1. Download the firmware from: https://kbdcraft.store/pages/opensource
  2. Follow the steps below to install/change the firmware:Unplug the Numpad.
  3. Press and hold the first button (Numlock) in the upper left corner of the Numpad.*
  4. While still holding the button, plug in the cable.
  5. A disk drive called Addams0110 will appear on your system, then release the button.
  6. Drag the firmware (.uf2 file) into the storage disk.
  7. The PCB will install the firmware and restore the factory settings.

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.

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.
