Guide
- Solder diodes
- Solder reset button
- clip reset button pins (interferes with switches)
- Solder the pro micro header pins (do not solder the pro micro itself)
- Solder the switches / rotary encoder
- Clip switches under the pro micro (so it doesn't make contact)
- Solder Pro Micro on with the components facing the PCB.
- Add hotglue to the Pro Micro or make it hotswappable

Questions
How big is the 6pack PCB?
It measures 65.5 × 82.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the 6pack use?
23 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the 6pack KiCad files?
From the kdewilde/6pack repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 6Pack.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the 6pack design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask kdewilde before reusing the design.
