i think the code is almost done but its kind of hard to tell if it actually will work

but im going to buy the mcu soon so i can test if half of the code works because with with mcu i can test like if like the key code is sent to the computer

I actually worked on this 22 minutes but because its QMK i already had another QMK project and they were merged because the name of the folder is qmj_firmware so it tracked into the same project so i just fast made a 5 minute timer here.

so what i actually did on this update was start making the qmk code! so it took a while do understand all the direct wiring because thats how my keyboard is wired so yeah!

added the hole that i forgot! i have no idea how i really forgot that hole but yeah now im going to start working on the case for the right side its almost the same thing so i dont have to create it from scratch just need to change a few things!

my keyboard is almost done! just printed the bottom part which has a huge problem (i forgot to add a hole that is essential) so i need to print a new one but its looking really cool! still need to buy the components :pf:

and this took 3 hours to print!!!

Totally remade the plate because well i found that it would be easier to remake it because in my first version was not the best so i remade it! its way better

I designed the plate for my case (not yet final version but it will help for the final version because the hardest part was making the placement of the keys) and then i printed the test version and the switches fit perfectly (i still only have 1 switch that stayed extra from my brothers hackpad still need to buy the rest of the components)
