## How to Order

The [gerber ZIP](./clog-v2.zip) has everything you'll need to get this printed.
You can order from [JLC](https://jlcpcb.com) by just uploading that ZIP archive and keeping
the default options. I'd suggest removing the order number, otherwise they'll put
one on the board somewhere randomly.

## Building

### Parts Needed

Part Name | Quantity | Notes | Link
--------------------:|:---------------:|:----------------------------------------:|:----
PCB | 2 (halves) | | Look up hurr hurr
Choc V1 Switches | 34 | |
Choc Keycaps | 34 | |
SMD Diodes | 34 | |
Power Switches | 2 | Technically optional |
Xiao BLE | 2 | Not technically optional |
Small LiPo Batteries | 2 | |
Inch of Copper Wire | 1 | Use thin and sheathed | Any hardware store
MCU Sockets | 1 strip to chop | Optional, chop into sections of 7 pins |
MCU Socket Pins | 28 | Optional, buy extras, these are slippery |

### Tips

I'd solder the parts in this order:

- Diodes
- Power switches
- MCU sockets/Headers that came with the Xiao's
- MCU pins if you're [socketing](https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011263059-How-do-I-socket-a-microcontroller-)
- Batteries (To the +ve and -ve terminals)
- The "bodge" wire from the +ve charging pad on the controller to the "Bdg" hole
- Choc switches
