Photographed Air Force One Over My House

Nothing political, just thought it was cool the plane went right over my house lol. Tracked the whole flight and found a spot I could get close even though I wish I had a longer lens (only had a 70-200 on aps-c), oh well.

Case Design Webinar and Q&A - ScottoAcademy

Register here: https://scottoacademy.com

I'm running a new workshop (more of a webinar) where I'll be teaching you how to use keyboard layout editor and take that layout to a CAD program. We'll then cover designing a tray mounted case along with a stacked design. There will be Q&A throughout and by the end you should have a much better understanding to move forward with your own case designs.

The session will be recorded so you can watch them later or if you can't make the live along with getting access to the private student channels in my Discord server for further discussion.

It's scheduled for Sunday, October 11, 2026 at 2 PM Eastern Time

Can I enable Mic Mini safety track with the Osmo 8?

Is there a way to enable the safety track when using the smart tracking module as the mic receiver?

I can’t seem to find any settings for audio.

Last call for ScottoAcademy handwiring workshop!

https://scottoacademy.com

Hey guys! I've been posting about this for roughly the last month and registration closes tomorrow August 16th so if you want in, now is the time :)

Together over 3 live Discord sessions we're going to be building a full 4x10 ortholinear handwired keyboard and I'll be guiding you the whole way. There will be time during the sessions to ask questions if you get stuck and a dedicated Q&A at the end of each.

You can either bring your own parts or purchase a parts kit with everything you need including pre-cut copper minus tools of course.

This course is beginner friendly and I think you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to handwire!

[AD] Last call for ScottoAcademy handwiring workshop!

Yeah it's a non-ergo but the concepts still apply to any board which is why I'm still posting here.

We Need to Talk About the Future of ScottoKeebs

I've debated sharing this to Reddit but I feel it does fit here since so much of my community found me through my posts. The too long, didn't watch is that I'm at a point where I want to make the ScottoKeebs project more sustainable long-term with less reliance on sponsors. The way to do that I feel is a Patreon and guarding my time a bit stronger. I still plan on releasing many free projects but direct access to me I'm going to get a bit more selective with.

So that said, if my content or projects have helped you over the years, please consider becoming a patron: https://patreon.com/joe_scotto

Handwired Keyboard Workshop - ScottoAcademy

Hey all! It’s me, The Handwiring Guy and I’m back again with another workshop!

This time I’ll be teaching you how to build a full handwired keyboard using a matrix with diodes. We’ll build it together over three live weekend sessions on Discord, where I’ll guide you through every step and answer questions along the way. Every session is also recorded so you can rewatch them at any time and students get access to private channels for further discussion. 

There’s also an optional parts kit so all you need are the tools. By the end of the workshop you’ll have a handwired keyboard you built entirely yourself from scratch and the knowledge to build your own in the future. 

No prior handwiring experience is required, and the workshop is limited to 12 people so everyone gets plenty of individual help. Also each session ends with a Q&A if you have any other questions!

Build a Handwired Keyboard from Scratch - Live ScottoAcademy Workshop

https://scottoacademy.com

Hey all! I'm Joe Scotto, many of you probably know me as "The Handwiring Guy" from YouTube where I make free videos about handwiring, keyboard design, PCBs, etc.

Lately I've started running paid live Discord workshops where I teach this stuff in a more structured way to small groups of people. The first one was for complete beginners with a handwired 3x3 macropad build, the next was PCB design, and this latest one is all about building an entire handwired keyboard!

Over 3 sessions about 1 to 2 hours long each, I'll walk you through every step of the build. We'll start with installing the switches and wiring the columns, move on to the rows with diodes in session 2, and finally finish it up by soldering the controller and flashing firmware in session 3. By the end of the workshop you'll have a full handwired keyboard you built yourself completely from scratch!

To make things easier, there's an optional parts kit that includes everything you'll need to build the keyboard except the tools, including the 3D printed case and keycaps, electronics, switches, wire, heat shrink, and even pre-cut solid copper wire. The workshop is $150 if you bring your own parts or $200 with the complete parts kit.

Registration closes on August 16th so I have enough time to ship the parts to everyone before the workshop begins. The last two workshops filled up pretty quickly, so if you're interested I would recommend signing up sooner rather than later as there are only 12 spots available.

Gel refills I can put in my Jetstream multi pens?

I have a bunch of Uni jetstream multipens and like them quite a bit but wanna make one with Gel. Are there any refills I can mod or will just work out of the box with say the Prime 3 or 4 in 1?

I built the worlds largest number pad lol

A few months back I built the Scotto2 for someone with quadriplegia that allowed them to play racing games using 2 large buttons. I figured something cool to do for a bit of a meme would be an entire number pad with giant buttons. The result is the ScottoBigum which I believe to be the largest in the world. Each button is scaled up 4 times and the entire thing weighs close to 2 pounds… oh and it’s also wireless with ZMK studio support so it doesn’t need to be strictly a number pad.

I have a full build video coming out tomorrow on my YouTube channel and as usual with all my handwired projects, all the files are available for free if you want to build this one yourself.

Pump died for the first time ever

For the first time in 6 years of using the TSlim I had it completely die on me. When I rebooted it seemed all my settings were saved but I had to reconnect my sensor and run the load cartridge again. Is that correct and all I have to do? I wanna go to bed lol
