very small error to fix in pcb connecting gnd together. repo need to be updated for cost in readme, preferably if you can include the whole bom in the readme. cart screenshots update requested by author. overall nice pcb 🔥🔥 (no autorouter tho 🔪)

Okay so like i used my schematics and my keyboard layout and used qmk for firmware i think python (kmk) is not a very best choice for firmware of a keyboard so i used Qmk C which is very good in terms of firmware for keyboard, at first it passed the lint test, but when i tries to compile it i didn't compiled and gave some dumb error and stuff although i resolved it so yea!! all i had to do was just update my system and qmk files like just sudo pacman -Syu and fixed, like easy peasy.
Not gonna like it was fun so yea i'm now done with the firmware too and yea! now i'll setup repo and submit it

okay im in locking huddle and i recorded a very cool video of the process and it's very good i'll edit it tmr and add it in the further journal

for the update i have completed the schematics and i have placed all the components i mean like i was using plugin which places diodes and switches in the place but for some reason it placed the switches correctly but the diodes weren't so like yea i had to manually do it, any yea! it took sometime my laptop bugged out idunno why but yea something happened here, but yea i had to just reboot my stuff and stuff so yea!!

Made the matrix

OKAY, so like first things first i forgot to give my first journal and just left the keeb on wait because i was doing some other ysws so im journaling it now!

This is the layout that i'm using this layout and i own a 60% keyboard so i know what it feels like to not have any arrows keys :pf:

Then i started with the schematics and im almost done i did the matrix and then i just left and now im on schematics and now im labelling it and then i'll add maybe encoder and mcu and connect everything!!
