  1. My current success rate with #MechanicalKeyboard PCB soldering is currently only 2 out of 5, well 40% is a pass mark - just.

    The #RaspberryPiPico #RP2040 ‘Gamma Omega TC36K’ board worked (an easy build, could probably have socketed it). 💚

    One success, one failure with #SeeedStudio #Xiao BLE castellated in Forager ‘Acid’ PCB (some fiddly back pads). 🧡

    Two failures with #ProMicro #nRF52840 BLE in ‘Gamma Omega Hesse’ board attempting faux-castellation💔

    Just as well custom PCBs are fabricated in batches of five - waiting on spare parts to try again - #LearningByDoing or #LearningByFailing ?

  2. If my first wireless Bluetooth #MechanicalKeyboard proves a little battery hungry - and the #ZMK Discord channel suggests the #nRF52840 #ProMicro controller I plan on using can be - there’s an easy fix: Buy a bigger battery! 🪫

    In hindsight I was over cautious when I ordered the 300mAh LP602030 battery BEFORE finalising the design, and eked out a few more millimetres for it 😢
