    Thanks. I must admit I am curious to see what mistakes I’ve made this coming weekend. My first KiCAD PCBs should arrive this week, then the penny shall drop I suspect.

    If you’ve not tried it yet I’d recommend having a go at reflow soldering with a hot plate. It makes some aspects of assembly easier.

    I haven’t yet had a chance to get two rotary encoders working under ZMK yet either. Did you have a good resource to use for that or did you need to figure it out yourself?

    (Appreciate I’m asking a lot of questions sorry).

    EDIT: I see you’ve posted your ZMK config, nice 😊

      There is a zmk pull request open that adds split encoder support. If you use that to build your firmware if should work.

      To be honest I have not tried it with this board so technically one scrollwheel is not working right now. Though I’ll change that soon. I used a fork that supports split encoder with zmk on my sofle and it worked, so you could use this config for some inspiration (here: https://github.com/dnlbauer/sofle-zmk-config).

        Awesome, thank you.

        I have a Sofle to test with ahead of assembly. Also “my design” is based on the Sofle (electrically at least), this is super helpful!
