before starting pcb design, i hopped on excalidraw to try and make a layout that would be good to use.
i first created the keyboard schematic since i already know how to wire a keyboard matrix.
i then researched the type of leds that i want to use in the keyboard.
turns out sk6812mini-e’s are a standard led that are supported by qmk - so i decided to use those
looked for a pinout online and wired everything up.
i decided not to hook any gpio pins up yet, because i want to make the connections as clean as possible.
i then found a 1.8 inch lcd screen that i want to build around, so i found the pinout for that and wired it up.
finally, i assigned footprints to each of the components, and am ready to begin pcb routing!
and here is the final schematic!
