Resolved YES if I'm able to use the keyboard by EOY.
TODO:
[X] I order everything
[X] I receive everything
[ ] I assemble/solder everything successfully
[ ] I write/flash the keyboard firmware
NOTE:
1st build, my soldering sucks, firmware shouldn't be an issue
3 orders (keycaps/switches/pcb/mcu/encoders/solderingstuff..) on 3 websites (Australian website, AliExpress, Taiwanese website)
All orders have an "expected delivery" of <2 week

✅ Had to unsolder/resolder every MCU pin 1 by 1, to put it back in the correct position
✅ Managed to fry 2 MCUs GPIO
✅ Managed to fry a finger (touching the soldering iron)
✅ Dogshit wire jumping to some free GPIO to solve that
✅ Received and soldered encoders
Spent my last 2 nights dev/debugging with both MCU soldered upside down.
Managed to get every keys of both half working this way.
Communication between the 2 was physically impossible because of that though.
I will diagnose the damages (?) later. I've noticed some slight heating while debugging.
I also need to resolder, and rewrite some firmware.

❌ didn't wait for soldering flux
✅ soldered 30 SMD diode on the wrong side of the PCB
✅ unsoldered 30 SMD diode from the wrong side of the PCB
✅ completely tore out 3 soldering pad
✅ hardware debugging and fix some connections
Everything that arrived is now (hopefully) soldered.
I may have cooked some components (diode T4) / solderings.
Stuff have yet to arrive
@traders Most of the stuff are not sent / in transit, but I received:
- 2 MCUs
- half the soldering stuff
- half the switches
I soldered the male headers to the MCUs, flashed blinker to confirm the 2 MCUs are working
