First step into making a custom keyboard. Wired up a single switch and wrote some code to get its states and create events for it. This will be a long road, but will learn tons in the process. Going to document the project on my github plus save all the code for each step for anyone who’s interested in the staged of its development.

Experimenting with ways to make the board reusable without desoldering. Using these tiny socket pins allows the switch to be easily removable. Also tried a smaller one for connecting wires but they are pretty fragile. Wanted to try using terminal blocks but the holes are too small to fit. Now trying out these pin headers. These will need to be soldered to the board, but it holds 22 gage wire quite well for wiring the matrix circuit. If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Finally got 6 amoeba boards in the mail! All my other projects will now be put on hold to work on my mechanical keyboard prototype. So far the working project name is #mkReBuild. Here's hoping I can get some of the concepts working.
