Panelization is the most annoying bit of this whole process. I was able to finally get it work work by using kikit to generate rails and tabs.

Firmware is zmk and is maintained in the submodule /zmk. The latest firmware build can be grabbed from nightly.link/taciturnaxolotl/thyme-module/workflows/build as a zip containing the left and right half uf2 files.

The case was made in onshape and is available in this document. The case is made of PLA and printed on an A1 mini. It is likely to change quite a bit once I get my pcb assembled and can fit test stuff. Evenentually I would like to add a…
