Project moved to Pillz Mod

This project has been replaced by Pillz Mod: https://github.com/dcpedit/pillzmod

KinT Blackpill Edition

This is a fork of Michael Stapelberg's KinT project with the following modifications:

• Replaced Teensy with STM32F411 Blackpill controller (blackpill directory)
• Reduced PCB size to 100 x 86 mm
• Use Vial firmware. Source code is in my fork of Vial

Parts for Build

Component	Qty	Notes
SMD LEDs	4	Can be any color Link
SMD 10k resistors	4	Link
Molex 13 pin connectors	4-6	Needed if you don't want to desolder old ones Link
STM32F411 Blackpill	1	AliExpress Link
Panel mount USB-C	1	Amazon Link
Socketed headers		Only needed if you want to socket your Blackpill.

Bluetooth + ZMK build

You can now use the Pillbug dev board along with ZMK firware to make this a wireless mod. Basically, just swap out the Blackpill with a Pillbug and add a battery.

Component	Qty	Notes
Pillbug	1	MechWild Link
2000 mAh battery	1	Amazon Link

v2022-08-05 of the PCB requires you to bridge the 3.3v pins with a wire. You can do this easily after soldering the controller in place and tacking a short wire with stripped ends to the existing solder joints on the same side as the LEDs/resistors. The diagram below shows you which pins.

The current version in the repo does not require this.

If you're using a battery that's larger than 500 mAh, short JP1 on the back of the Pillbug to enable "Charge Boost" (changes charge rate from 100mA to 500mA)
