"2 Cleaning After soldering the board is usually a mess and needs to be cleaned up. I use IPA in a dispenser bottle. Also an ESD safe brush. I also just use standard store-bought Q-tips. If youre rich you can buy the fancy ones that don't leave fibers behind but these work fine for me. :) Im looking to get an ultrasonic cleaner soon to get the boards even cleaner if anyone has a specific model they recommend let me know"

"3 Third hand(s) I only have two hands one for the iron and the other for tweezers or tin. Something to hold the boards up is a must. I have two really cheap ones. The bigger one works well for larger boards and the small alligator clips are better for things like wires or tiny PCBs. You don't need to overspend here the cheap stuff does the trick. Something like a PCBite is definitely cool but it's hard to justify the price imo. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2010726402853687372 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2010726402853687372"

"2 Requirements & Chip Selection The goal: A sleek battery-powered wireless keypad. Wireless: WiFi is too power-hungry so I went with BLE using the new nRF54L15 from Nordic Semi. Power: To handle charging and power management I chose the nPM1300 PMIC. It has two internal bucks which is perfect for this. USB/Bridge: The nRF54L15 doesn't support USB natively. Since FTDI chips are pricey/out of stock I used an STM32C0. Its dirt cheap supports USB and acts as a UART-to-USB bridge. For the "feel" I used Gateron KS-33 [---] low-profile mechanical switches (same as my Keychron keyboard) and added a"

"3 PCB The keys are set up in a matrix to save GPIO pins. Columns are powered via GPIO. When a key is pressed a row triggers an interrupt. The MCU then scans columns individually to pinpoint the exact key location. Both MCUs are powered by their own dedicated buck converters inside the nPM1300. I also added interrupt lines between the STM32 and nRF so they can wake each other up. There is also a led for charging indication controlled by the nPM1300 and a led controlled by the STM32 for usb comms. Layout: All SMD parts are on the bottom layer to make assembly cheaper and easier."
