Assembly Guide

No promises that this is actually helpful, I have no experience with custom keyboard

1. Heat set the six M3 inserts into the case
2. Solder the PCB
   • 8 THT 1N4148 Diodes mount to the underside of the board
   • 1 Diode, The EC11 encoder, XAIO, & OLED atach to the top of the board
     • The OLED should be placed flush against the black spacer on its pins (0.1" or 2.54mm off the surface of the board)
     • Trim the pins of the OLED to below 5mm off the surface of the board (as close to flush with the OLED as possable is ideal)
     • The XAIO needs to be flush against the board to fit under the top plate
3. Install the keyswitches
   • Place the swiches in the larger acrylic plate
   • Possition the M3 standoffs over the holes in the middle of the board, This will be diffcult to do later
   • Install the plate on the board and solder the switches
4. Mount the board in the bottom case
   • Only install the lower 12mm M3 bolt at this stage
5. Install the top of the case
   • The top 3D printed case piece can be secured with four M3 12mm bolts from the bottom
6. Install the top plate
   • Secure in place with a M3 16mm bolt through the remaining hole in the PCB
7. Flash the firmware
   • I hope you know how to do this cause I don't :)
   • The dial is (0,0) in the matrix
8. Keycaps & Dial
