How to build

in the folder cad contains the fusion assembly and the top and bottom half of the case. these should be 3d printed. in the folder "pcb" contains the pcb to be printed by e.g. jlcpcbcb

components:

4x cherry mx switches

2x sk6812 leds

1x Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040

1x 3d printed case

solder

soldering iron

once all components are obtained solder on all board components. then test to see if there is any issues. must insure that the top half of the case is on top of the pcb and under the switches (sandwiched between) before soldering switches on to pcb as this is the way to hold the pcb inside the case. after testing glue the bottom case to the top case. configure code and the macropod will be readyady
