### 1. Order PCBs ### 1. Order PCBs
!!!!!!!!!! TODO !!!!!!!!!! I ordered my PCBs from JLC, but any PCB service would work. They should accept the exported Gerber zip files in `circuits/Exports` folder.
I created two circuit boards for this keyboard, one is the multiplexer ([Mux v2.zip](circuits/Mux%20v2.zip)) which uses the CD74HC4067 1:16 multiplexer ic to convert the 61 separate analog inputs requirement into only 5 analog inputs and 4 digital switch outputs.
It also haso diodes and resistors for voltage protection. The other pcb ([OKP-Panel-SMT.zip](circuits/OKP-Panel-SMT.zip)) is for the MIDI control panel containing the buttons and knobs.
1. Go to jlcpcb.com (Or jlc.com if you read Chinese)
2. Upload the Gerber file
3. Set parameters: FR-4, 2 Layers, Color, leave default for other options
**PCB Assembly (SMT)**
If you're not comfortable soldering small SMD components, you can order PCB Assembly from JLC.
You can also select which parts you would like to SMT based on your soldering abilities.
For example, in the Mux pcb, I ordered SMT for only the 0603 Zener diodes and the CD74HC4067 ic, and hand-soldered everything else.
1. Order "PCB Assembly" (SMT) and click confirm
2. In the SMT menu, upload the BOM and CPL (PickAndPlace) files
3. After uploading, remove the parts you want to manually solder (they're pretty expensive, since someone in the factory still have to manually solder them for you)
4. Order manually-soldered parts somewhere else (e.g. szlcsc.com)
