HillSideView | A modified Hillside 46 with nice!view, large battery, 3dp case and cirque support in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

That splay is what makes those pinky keys actually usable for me. It helped a lot to print the layout to see test for comfort

Oh sorry, that's my bad. This is a split ergo keyboard that can be used for anything really. I use it for regular typing, programming and gaming. The picture here only shows the right half of the keyboard. The imgur link has another photo of both halves that should hopefully clarify things a bit more.

That's one of the things that's great about the Hillside 46. Proper choc spacing means less finger movement!

While looking for my first ergo mech keyboard, I wanted something small with choc switches (and spacing), splay and wireless support. The Hillside 46 looked really nice but I wanted to make some changes to it including support for the nice!view, a large battery and the cirque trackpad. That prompted creating a fork of the Hillside 46 called the HillSideView (HSV). The main features that the HSV adds over the Hillside 46 are:

  • nice!view e-paper display for better battery life
  • Cleaner outer pinky column cut-off
  • Support for a cirque trackpad with an FFC connector on the PCB itself
  • Case design with support for large 750-3000 mAh batteries under the PCB
  • Magnetic tenting stand with the case
  • Under PCB mount for the MCU for a cleaner top display mounting

Odyssey Espresso Argos in c/espresso@infosec.pub

I haven't steamed milk yet but the steam pressure seems pretty good. And pressure gauge is something I'm going to set up later today, so will report back here with thoughts.

Odyssey Espresso Argos (lemmy.world)
 

Got my Argos today and it looks and feels so much better than I expected. It's super tiny, beautifully designed and setting it up was very easy. Filled it up with 40GH/40KH water and it got to temp within 5 mins or so. Flushed for a bit to clean out the water path. Pulled a shot with some washed Ethiopian beans 18:40 and it tasted really nice and soft, lots of nice lemon acidity, very nice floral notes and some white sugar sweetness. This was in spring config with the 6 bar spring. Also got the analog pressure gauge and digital transducer. Need to install those and play with the app over the next few days.

Gaggia classic pump replacement in c/coffee@lemmy.world
[–] shaysub@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Swapping out the pump should be relatively straightforward. One thing you might consider when buying a new pump is getting the brass version (Ulka EX5) that many have said reduces noise. There's also a higher wattage version (52W instead of 41W) of the same pump that has higher water debit and can give you more flexibility which is the one I got for my machine (Ulka EAX5)
