+# PUPNIK Keyboard
+
+<!-- Describe your board in 2-3 sentences. What are you making? What will it do? -->
+A modular, resistive-touch MIDI keyboard inspired by Arturia's MicroFreak and based on the RP2040.
+With USBC and hardware MIDI I/O and up to 5 octaves of analogue control-voltage and gate/mod output.
+The modules are chainable via littlebits-style connectors - these were not available on LCSC so I'm going to buy
+and hand-solder them seperately.
+
+<!-- How much is it going to cost? -->
+$130.31 + shipping for 5 boards and assembly - I chose the more expensive ENIG surface finish as it's prettier and
+more comfortable to touch.
+
+<!-- Tell us a little bit about your design process. What were some challenges? What helped? ***Totally optional*** -->
+I get a little obsessive about projects like this. The hardest part was probably sourcing the pogo pins to make the
+modules snap together - LCSC only carries vertical pogo pins so I spent a while trying to use right-angle headers to
+put them at an angle but ultimately I decided that buying and hand-soldering the pins seperately would be easier and
+cheaper than trying to cut FR4. Also, MIDI is a huge pain sometimes. The chunkiest component is the optocoupler for
+MIDI input.

+I couldn't really figure out how to export a json form EasyEDA Pro (the desktop app) and I made a bunch of custom components and stuff for this project so here's it exported as an Altium file because that was the closest thing I could find to exporting a native filetype, and you can import it into EasyEDA pro.
