i think that's actually okay it's a little bit more flexible but it's a bit thinner and a bit lighter so i'm not quite sure if there's any other implication to that but you could do NUMBER_TOKEN to play it safe um and then you can do this remove order number if you don't want anything printed on your board it's pretty mind-blowing how cheap this is actually to do this but that's basically the process of of tweaking um one of these great open source projects to the way you want it and then getting it sent off and and ordered as a pcb so once it's arrived you just solder it all together so i socketed these controllers onto this board because i knew that i wanted to experiment with the nice nanos uh later and make this a wireless version these are the elite c's so it's no wireless capability here just usb but because we're using the sockets we can actually switch these controllers out onto the keyboard at a later date and that's a good way of doing this so to do that you kind of soldered the sockets onto the board and then you soldered the pins into the microcontroller while it's in place with a bit of masking tape in between to stop uh sort of dribbling down into the sockets and sealing the whole thing together i didn't do that in the first half i just about got away with it i think so soldering was quite out of my comfort zone so i did a bit of research before attempting this and i think the tips that that stood out to me that made this a lot easier um how to use a really hot soldering iron with a fine tip uh very fine solder and use flux from a flux pen and and you liberally apply that before you do the soldering and with all that you know it worked okay for my first attempt it's definitely not very neat but it all works and nothing's fallen apart since then i was kind of couldn't quite believe that it actually just worked first time so this is a really fantastic way of getting one of these small tiny chalk-based keyboards without having to wait for the kind of bespoke vendors to to build one for you and you just use the pcb manufacturers and the open source projects out there all the parts and then just put it together it takes a couple of hours you know but it's great fun and brilliant better to have one of these in your hands so if you click my name below you can browse the channel and see some of the other videos i've done i've done loads of videos on keyboards and other layouts and all the kind of ins and outs of this journey that's taking me up to this point hopefully you'll agree it's worth subscribing and i hope you enjoy the rest of your day
