Sweep is a version of the more fabulous Ferris by Pierre Chevalier that uses a daughter board like a promicro, elite-c, bit-c, nice!nano etc. instead of using onboard components.
There's only choc version of Sweeps, unlike the Ferris, which offers many different versions for different switch types.
- Sweep2 - this superceeds the compact and possibly the compact ble, it is compact with power switches and puck support.
- Sweep Compact - this is based on the Ferris compact.
- Sweep Compact Low - this uses pg1232 or 'choc minis' rather than the standard choc v1 switch.
- Sweep Compact BLE - basically the compact, with the trrs removed and reversable controller footprint.
- Sweep34 - this was the OG Sweep, before there was a choc spaced Ferris, I consider it retired now, and would use the Sweep Compact.
The firmware can be found with the Ferris firmware as part of QMK.
Firmware for zmk and bluemicro_ble is called "Cradio".
To build a Sweep you will need:
- 2x promicro compatible boards or 2 nice!nanos.
- 34 choc switches
- 2x reset switches (optional)
- Some little rubber feet/bumpers
- Optional for sweep2 2x power switches (MSK 12C02)
- Important: On the Sweep Compact left half of the Sweep the promicro's USB port must face towards the PCB, and on the right half the USB port must face away from the PCB (so that the promicro's components are visible). Sweep 2 controllers both face down.
I, lazily, haven't made any documentation, but thankfully there is this tutorial on youtube by kyek.
