Introduction

Hey there! Welcome to the inaugural edition of our new project kit series. The idea behind this document is to help you become more comfortable using the tools in the Elko Engineering Garage. We'll provide the project idea and a kit of parts - all you have to do is bring your willingness to learn. This project is a programmable macro-pad, with fancy mechanical key-switches and a cool 3D-printed case. You can rebind each of the keys to whatever function you want; use them for macros or shortcuts in your favorite software. This guide will walk you through 3D-printing, soldering, and laser-cutting all of the parts not included in the parts kit. A final thing to remember: this project is yours; feel free to make modifications or do thing differently to make it your own. The garage staff are happy to give you pointers if you get stuck - Just remember that you learn more when you make an effort to figure things out yourself.
Have Fun!
