This is a critical step!
Do not glance over it - you might end up making mistakes which are extremely hard to fix!
Although we take great care into designing out keyboards, from time to time a mistake will creep in. This means the keyboard you received might have slight differences from the build guide.
This could include issues such as:
- Mislabeled components
- Inconsistent component orientation
- Hard-to-solder pins
It is critical to be aware of these differences.
Look up your keyboard in the Changelogs & Errata section.
There will be a separate paragraph for each revision. Your keyboard will have a revision marker.
Identify which revision you are building, and take note of its known issues. Each issue should mention what impact it will have for the building process.
