The open source all-screen keyboard

The first open source all-screen keyboard. This repository contains all the digital files used to produce the all-screen keyboard created by Inkbox Software.

Material List

  • Raspberry Pi 4 and up. (Program requires use of OpenGL 3 only supported by this generation of Pis onward)
  • 14.1" wide screen touch display
  • Pi Pico
  • Battery (optional)
  • Case and key files found in 3Dmodels folder
  • Magnets
  • Acrylic cores
  • Various wires and cables to put everything together

To enable SPI on Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu

Due to the 3840x1100 wide display resolution, Raspbian cannot be used. Ubutuntu then requires a little more settup to access all the Pi's features. In /boot/firmware/config.txt place the following text

enable_uart=1
dtoverlays=uart0-pi5

Restart, and serial is now accessible via /dev/ttyAMA0 Note this is different from Raspbian's serial file /dev/serial0

To invert touch screeen output

Add the following rule as touchscreen.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d

ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{name}=="ILITEK ILITEK-TP", ENV{LIBINPUT_CALIBRATION_MATRIX}="-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1"
