Assembly

Build guide

ErgoDash-LP is mostly compatible with, and based off of, the original ErgoDash v1.2 PCB. This means that you can follow omkbd's build guide. The only difference is that it does not support in-switch LEDs. In addition, please read Errata before beginning.

Errata

There is one minor issue with the PCB that will not affect the function of the keyboard. There are multiple spots near the thumb cluster where the solder blob from soldering a diode would interfere with a stabilizer or a switch:

This is easily fixable by either using SMD diodes or cutting the legs of the diodes so that they don't protrude from the opposite side of the PCB and soldering them from the diode side.
