And the journey continues...
Did some measuring of the space between switchplate and the case. Cut some metal brackets and drilled the holes.
Then glued those brackets to the case.
Left it curing for 24 hours.
To be honest I wasn't convinced about the strength of such glue. So I did couple of drop tests from various heights.
Up to 60-70 cm I believe. And it survived just fine. Pretty happy that welding it together wasn't necessary.
Next thing was trimming everything that sticks out.
With that out of the way. It's firmware time.
Marked every single wire to prevent confusion during soldering. And attached Pro Micro to the dummy board.
This will give me the room for reset button which this board lacks. And mounting holes for screws.
And everything connected and ready for testing.
Since my current machine is Win7 laptop (yeah I know) . I had to set up the environment from the ground up.
But all went smooth due to very good QMK documentation. Used included script to make new keyboard and edited template files accordingly.

Very basic layout. Function layer only for function keys for now.
Of course as time goes on I will fine tune it.
Everything compiled fine on Windows machine. But I was unable to actually flash it.
After an hour of trial and error, searching for solutions. I gave up, put the damn thing on the thumb drive and went to the basement, where linux server is located. Flashed the contoller, went back up to test and... it didn't work
Checked the code couple times for errors... everything seems alright.
Checked the diodes and all connections on the board and controller. Everything seems fine. What the hell?
Turns out forcing NKRO in
config.h makes the whole board unresponsive.
Which I did. Don't know why tbh, probably because it is there as an option
But out of curiosity anybody knows why this happens?
Either way the board works now as it should.
Still TODO:
1. Mounting controller to the case.
2. Designing and ordering the bottom.
3. Paint job.
4. Cable managment.
