The Story
Brought to you by the QMK Collaborators, this is the new and improved external controller that you didn’t know you needed. The Proton C is a drop-in replacement for a Pro-Micro and so much more.
The incomparable qualities of the original:
- 32-bit Cortex-M4 Processor
- USB-C Port that won’t break off easily
- PWM on every exposed pin
- A break-away section with extra pins and a place to mount a speaker
- RESET button with a sane bootloader
And some new features for Rev 2:
- Clear solder mask on both sides
- Speaker pads on both sides
- You can now connect one side of the speaker to GND to gain an additional I/O pin
Take Your Handwired Build To The Next Level
The quintessential controller for your custom build. Yes, you can have USB-C and Audio in your hand-wired builds! The Proton C provides 23 GPIO pins. That’s enough to wire a full sized keyboard!
Note: Header pins are not included with the Proton C
