Assembly
- Solder diodes onto the PCB.
- Solder switches onto the PCB.
- Solder microcontrollers onto the pcb.
- Solder the battery to the bat terminals on the mcu.
- Attach the battery using double sided tape to the bottom half of the case in the battery area.
- Use m3 bolts to secure the pcb and top case to the bottom half of the case.
-
Software
- download the firmware.zip file and flash the left file to the left half and the right file to the right half by dragging and dropping it into the virtual disk on the MCUs in bootloader mode.

Questions
How big is the ErgoDecks PCB?
It measures 121.5 × 99.5 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ErgoDecks use?
35 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 ErgoDecks KiCad files?
From the meepodeep/ErgoDecks repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is ErgoDecks/ErgoDecks.kicad_pcb and its schematic ErgoDecks/ErgoDecks.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ErgoDecks design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
