One of the biggest challenges was getting everything working together, especially debugging the key matrix, which sometimes registered phantom keypresses due to something I still can’t quite understand. I used QMK’s debug console, a multimeter and continuity tests to help track down the problem, which took up a significant amount of the 2 day build. I’m proud of how much I managed to build and learn, from designing the hardware to programming the firmware and PC app. I got to experiment with GPIOs, Raw HID, OLED graphics, encoders and RGB lighting, while also learning how to troubleshoot hardware and software issues.
