So, how's the JukeBox development coming along? Well, it sure is coming, I promise.

In case you don't know what a JukeBox is, it's a little hotkey device I'm building! I originally made this to assist with my endeavors in streaming, but it turns out having extra keys is very useful for a lot of things! Whether it be hotkeys for quickly running macros via AutoHotKey, managing your Discord audio settings, playing funny sounds with VoiceMod, switching tools in your favorite art program like Paint Tool SAI, or managing OBS like I do. It's a very powerful device, and all it does is act like a keyboard with the F13-F24 keys. I bet you didn't even know there was more than the F1-F12 keys, am I right?

About a year ago, I said I would begin selling these soon. That was a bit of a lie, fortunately I am very good at those. That last bit was also a lie, in case you couldn't tell. I got the opportunity to work on the JukeBox as part of an independent study for college credit, so I took a lot of time to plan and rethink the product. That part wasn't a lie The result is the new V5 board!

Ok so this isn't the actual V5 board yet.

I decided to completely change up what makes up a JukeBox. I decided to use an RP2040 chip, which is used to power a Raspberry Pi Pico. I used a Pico board, along with the old JukeBox V4 boards, an RGB LED ring, and an OLED screen to build my ideal V5 prototype. The result is the same JukeBox known and loved but with some added features, like reactive lighting and a screen to display fun graphics and info!

This is the finalized board, it's design has been shipped off to manufacturing, and will hopefully arrive right at the start of the new year. I'm paying a lot of money for just 10 of these things! I can't wait.

The plan is to sell 3 versions of the board, a basic variant (keyboard only), an RGB variant, and an RGB plus screen variant. Prices are still being determined, but they will be higher than previously anticipated due to rising material costs. The goal is to keep the basic variant at $25 to maintain affordability. You will also be able to choose what kinds of keys you want, be it Cherry MX Blues or Kailh Choc Whites.

I'm working on the final casing. It'll be a 3D printed shell with some nice M2.5 nuts and bolts. It'll also be in a mostly-opaque white so the RGB looks good shining through. The legs are also completely optional, both the case and the legs will have nice rubber feet to keep the board steady. The keycaps will be "relegendable", meaning you'll be able to stick a piece of paper in them with whatever you want on them. You get everything seen here, plus a USB-C cable, and my deepest gratitude. Maybe some day you'll get to have a JukeBox in atomic purple instead of a basic white!

The best part about it all is that you don't need to install any drivers! The keyboard component is always guaranteed to work on any computer that supports USB, and most usually do (hopefully). The screen and RGB won't work without a companion app, sadly, but I'm working hard to make it painless to setup and use, near plug-and-play. I've been writing it in Rust while working on the board, and it will support Windows and Linux without much issue.

Lastly, the entire project is going to be open source! The code will be under an open license, and all the physical parts will be usable under a Creative Commons license (CC BY-NC-SA). I won't allow people to just up and sell the boards without modification, but if someone wants to make and sell their own variant I'd be more than happy to allow it if they ask. Devices like these should be cheap and accessible for everyone.

Hopefully I'll start selling these on my Ko-fi before Q2 of 2024. See you then!

i'm quietly watching you update Falling Through the Ice, and it's so hard not to engage bc it looks so cool, but i'm deathly afraid of unfinished work

you're getting to me though, you monster

also i literally just read ur fem!skk oneshot, peak 10/10 thank you

Hehehw maybe you can start reading FTI when it has ~3-4 chapters left bc that will mean I will have already finished it in my drafts! For example, on ao3 we‘re on chapter 19 rn but in terms of my actual drafts I‘m somewhere between chapter 26-27 :) and thank you!!! I‘m glad you enjoyed my fem skk I love writing fem skk more than anything <3

Ja, das klingt auf den ersten Blick etwas komisch so einen Artikel zu haben. Was ist an dem Thema Düren-spezifisch? Gibt es Leute, die im Kreis Düren Pauschalurlaub machen?

Aber wenn man drüber nachdenkt macht es schon Sinn. Wenn ich in Düren bin ist meine erste Frage auch immer, "wie komme ich hier so schnell wie möglich weg!?"

Ich wohne in der erweiterten Region, deswegen hier mein Geheimtipp: Der nächste große Flughafen ist Nörvenich. Ich kann jetzt online keine Flüge von da finden, aber ich denke es macht Sinn, einfach mit einem Taxi da hin zu fahren, und dann vorne am Eingang zu fragen wo man Tickets für einen Flug z.B. nach Köln/Bonn oder Frankfurt oder Aachen-Merzbrück kriegt.

what's the plan for the jukeboxes? curious about how v2 is coming along 👀

also i love mine to bits, wanna wire it up for a soundboard at some point hehe

OH BOY I GET TO TALK ABOUT MY OTHER WEIRD PROJECTS!

Jukebox development has been on hold for a while now! Between the work on the next version (which would've been v4, btw, not v2. (I've been working on this for fuckin ever dude good god) Fun fact, you and some others got a v3!) and life just kind of happening to me, I haven't made much progress. Part of that life bit was also because I'm actually going to be doing an independent study with a prof at my university to develop the (hopefully last) version of the Jukebox.

The plan is to use a cheaper microcontroller (v4 had one that cost $2.50 to $4 per chip, v5 will be using one that's only $1 with a $0.25 memory chip) but keep pretty much everything else the same from the previous version. That means USB-C, Cherry MX and Kailh Choc key switch support, and open source everything. It would also have another 4 keys for the "modifier" (ctrl, alt, shift, super) keys for even more hotkey-ability.

I actually have a bunch of v4's built, and have been meaning to give them away to local friends or swap them with existing Jukeboxes I have given/sold to people. I also use a v4 with some "relegendable" key caps.

Ideally, the final version of the Jukebox would be sold with these (or similar) key caps, with a fun sticker sheet or something. The current "stickers" are made of printer paper, held in by the top and bottom halves of the keycap. I regularly use this while streaming and when I'm in Discord calls. It's great!

A big part of the reason the Jukebox still isn't finished, even with the whole independent study thing, is that I want it to be basically "finished" when I release it. Nothing new should need to be done with it once its out in the world. No firmware revisions, no bloated desktop applications. I want it to be something you can buy once and be happy with for the rest of your computing days, because lord knows we already have enough e-waste in the world. Designing products that last and that people want to use can be hard, especially when you're self funded and solo!

But I still have more plans for this thing, like this screen add-on for monitoring PC performance for weird PC building nerds like myself (or just anything, because it's a screen), and hopefully by next May it'll be ready for order proper. (Also ideally any old jukeboxes out there would just get a simple swap with the new ones. I'm already super in-the-red in terms of profit off these things, going in further wouldn't be so bad if it meant I got some of my old equipment and stuff back so I can use it for other things :D)
