ah, github.
there wasn't a single whitespace where there should have been one and all of the formatting decided not to show up. SO...
I've fixed the whitespace and because that really is not important, I added an "assembly" section.

Hey! Great work on this hackpad,but I’d love to see your repo readme a bit more polished, like some formatting so it reads better!

complete

I made the final cad and 3d print, then added the threaded inserts for the screws. a few drops or hot glue were added to hold Down the PCB so it doesn't move. Now it works, I just have to find something to cad...

fixed cad

the tolerances were off, so I fixed them.
the lid was too small, the case was not big enough. Apparently I didn't add proper tolerances to the original cad.

recieved, soldered, and started coding

sorry for not journaling sooner, but I've soldered the keys and the xiao. this took some anoying work but whatever.
I also began to code it. kmk keeps crashing out though. what I did to solve the problem was to get puTTY and fix the errors it printed.
kmk is working now, it was just a typo.
later I will update the repo and customize the keys.
strange note: the nepoixel footprint is funny so idk.
