chebeThe BYO Keyboard kit I backed on kickstarter arrived. Time for some soldering.
How about 19 minutes of unedited real-time soldering, with a camera that is struggling to maintain continuous auto-focus with a pancake lens? There's some nice, relaxing music. On repeat. It's a chill time. (Okay, I didn't realise the camera was wobbling so much. It's my very first time. Lots to learn.)

But after soldering we have to program it. It's Circuit Python, which means updating the version on the device with the newest one for your board (ItsyBitsy M0), by double-pressing the Reset button and dragging the file onto the disk. And then downloading the libraries to match that version. Extracting the zip, and drag-dropping the libraries you need onto the disk. (More on the libraries here.) One day I'll remember all that without looking it up.
I went for the keypresses demo script, so now I'm sending lost 1s-6s into my computer. Success!
