The walls were changed to just drop to the floor. The keyboard is paramaterized to allow either 4, 5, or 6 main rows. I plan to try the four-row version.

Then, I have enough channels to wire straight to each key switch. Diodes are not needed. Then, I can connect them with a serial connection, and adapt the QMK firmware for the [Let's split keyboard](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/lets_split) that implements this approach. Each half can be master. + +This doesn't have a bottom. I may or may not add one. I have many test prints to try. ## Assembly -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
