The rae-dux is a 36-key (diodeless!), wireless keyboard inspired by the [[https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/tree/main/Architeuthis%20dux][Architeuthis Dux]].
This project used to use the [[https://github.com/soundmonster/samoklava][samoklava workflow]], however the auto-router had
troubles with the splay, currently I just use the image generating parts of the
samoklava workflow.

*Has yet to be printed and tested!*

** Important Notes
- *Wireless only*, the 36-key diodeless approach uses the P0 pin which is usually dedicated to TRRS
- Their is only one MCU footprint, so *one controller has to be flipped* (I assume
   if you can get this printed you can figure out the correct orientation)
- The [[./rae-dux.yaml][rae-dux.yaml]] file relies on [[https://github.com/andrewjrae/ergogen/tree/rae-dux][my fork of ergogen]] which naturally relies on
  [[https://github.com/soundmonster/ergogen/tree/samoklava][soundmonster's fork of ergogen]], and a simple JST battery footprint inspired by
  [[https://github.com/benvallack][@benvallack]].
- If you want to skip out on the switch, there is no jumper to use the JST
  connector, so you'll have to bodge a wire somewhere, or try shorting the
  switch footprint.
- Kicad files are 6.0, so unfortunately not backwards compatible.
