   inspired by @deshipu 's kleks 2.0

   https://hackaday.io/project/182998-kleks-keyboard

   thinking about a column-staggered, one-piece split keyboard, designed for the super-cheap 100x100mm proto-pack offering from various PCB manufacturers

   most of my keyboard designs don't get very far past the "noodling around in inkscape" phase, can i get this one all the way to physically existing?

     actually, gradually, making some progress on this thing

     i think it's going better than other attempts because i'm not trying to cram every single feature i can onto it

     instead i'm going to break out all the pins to a set of socket headers so i can plug wires into it. combination keyboard and samd21 development module

     also, designing this backwards, pcb-first, no schematic

     well, well, well, if it isn't a hell of my own making

     woo, got all my netlabels and power rails worked out

     next, usb connector, power regulator, some capacitors and i'll be able to reattempt the pcb layout

     welp i accidentally a whole usb connector because i was too eager to see routing actually happen

     but the routing happened, look at that massive 64 pin bus. and not done yet, gotta weave tracks from all the pins on the left into it somehow too

     pretty excited though, i've never made it this far through the design of a pcb before!

     turns out, schematics are useful

     how did the circuituitous mess that i started with end up in this nice symmetrical regular pattern

     (get it... circuit-uitous)
     (wait is circuituitous really a word)
     (oh no have i been pronouncing cir-cu-i-tous wrong for years, i can never return to this place)
