I wonder how bad an idea it is to mount a raspi pico at a 90-degree angle to a PCB
I'm trying to design a keyboard that needs to fit into a small area (550mm by 15mm) and I realized I can technically get a little more room by making it have two right-angle PCBs. I could do that by designing two PCBs... or I could just have a pico mounted at 90 degrees!
I just realized this PCB is actually bigger than my chosen PCB fab can make.
I mean, unless I have them make it diagonally, but I imagine that'd be a tad expensive
I locked up kicad for 5 minutes by accidentally trying to insert 8000 keys
@StellaFoxxie suggested I make it EVEN BIGGER and I got up to 254 keys and 1.9m meters before kicad started to completely shit itself
@foone I think because I saw the Foone-for-scale post first, I originally misread the dimensions and tried to think why someone would want a keyboard 5.5 meters long.
