# Chili58 Keyboard

Based on the [Lily58](https://github.com/kata0510/Lily58), this design uses choc spacing for all the keys. The PCB, baseplates, etc can be generated using [Ergogen](https://ergogen.cache.works/).

This design is a work in progress, and is by no means complete or even functional.

## Steps To Build

1. Paste yaml into https://ergogen.cache.works/ and generate PCB.

2. Open pcb file in KiCad, and route all connections

   - Inspect Menu -> Design Rules Checker -> Run DRC -> Confirm no errors

3. generate gerber files

4. upload to print PCB somewhere (?)

5. upload edge cuts to cut acrylic case somewhere (?)

## Steps To Build (alt)

1. cd into ergogen fork

2. run.sh

3. generated files are in ~/Downloads/pcbs/

4. Open pcb file in KiCad, and route all connections

   - Inspect Menu -> Design Rules Checker -> Run DRC -> Confirm no errors

5. upload to print PCB somewhere (?)

6. upload edge cuts to cut acrylic case somewhere (?)
