From the project
Open Source Universal PCB for the a87 TKL Layout Keyboards
Geonworks에서 판매했던 Studio Kestra의 Galatea 구형 버전과 호환되는 a87 TKL 유니버셜 PCB입니다.
해당 PCB는 ISO 배열을 지원하지 않으며, 6.25u 대신 6u 하단열을 지원합니다.
또한 기존의 LED 인디케이터를 모두 버리고 Insert 키 위치에 캡스락 LED 인디케이터를 1개 배치하였습니다. 아래는 Vial의 탭댄스 기능을 활용한 인디케이터 테스트 영상입니다.
펌웨어는 QMK를 기반으로 Via와 Vial을 지원합니다. 펌웨어 소스코드와 Hex 파일은 여기에서 다운로드 받으실 수 있습니다.
