Desk of Ladyada - EYE SPI some Mechanical Keeb PCBs!

What this episode covers

We did a bunch of lil things this week, let's check them out: We designed a Kee Boar with the RP2040, based on the Pro Micro pinout but with some cute extras. Our snap-apart ortho keeb breakout PCBs arrived, as did our RP2040 macro-pad PCBs. We also tested our Zippy click-wheel breakout and are looking for a replacement chip for seesaw (that we can get in stock!)
