+* Dactyl Flexible PCB Rough Guide
+
+[[workbench.jpg]]
+For now, take a look at the images and try to figure things out, I know
+that's not great (it's better than nothing!)
+
+** Making the PCB
+
+Get two sheets of 6in square Pyralux™. Use the Toner Transfer method to
+etch the Pyralux sheets as you would a usual PCB
+
+#+BEGIN_QUOTE
+ NOTE: If you only have an Inkjet make photocopies of the print out,
+ voilà Toner based copies!
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+[[http://www.instructables.com/id/Toner-transfer-no-soak-high-quality-double-sided/][Here'sa handy toner transfer guide ...]]
+
+Print these PCB designs out...
+
+Left hand:
+[[left-hand-pcb-pyralux.png]]
+
+Right hand:
+[[right-hand-pcb-pyralux.png]]
+
+When you're done etching, you'll need to carefully cut the pcb into
+pieces... See the images below.
+
+** This is Madness...
+
+The thumb cluster pcb for the left hand:
+[[madness.jpg]]
+
+Solder the MCP like so:
+[[left-hand-mcp-1.jpg]]
+[[left-hand-mcp-2.jpg]]
+
+Solder the Teensy 2.0 like so:
+[[teensy-1.jpg]]
+
+Some interesting pull up 10k resistor business here... (TODO add a small
+diagram and notes)
+
+[[teensy-2-fuxor-reziztorrs.jpg]]
+
+Each hand of the keyboard will wire up like so:
+[[right-hand-pcb-1.jpg]]
+
+Teensy goes here... note the rows soldered to the teensy via the
+Pyralux:
+[[right-hand-pcb-with-teensy.jpg]]
+
+Here the left hand:
+[[hotglue-left-hand.jpg]]
+
+That's all for now, this guide will improve over time! (TODO!)
