On top of that you'll be a needing:
* Soldering iron
* Solder wire (anything between 0.5mm to 1.2mm, preferable with lead 'Pb')
* Sharp craft knife or wire stripper for cutting sections of insulation out of the wires
* Shapie marker

### **Remarks**

* My plate was made by using the [Keyboard Layout Editor](http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/) to make my layout then copied and pasted the raw data into the [Builder](http://www.builder.swillkb.com/) so that I could then order my custom made stainless steel plate from Lasergist.
* I used wire from cat7 cable to wire the switch matrix and used a sharp craft knife to cut them to length for the rows and the columns. I then placed and marked the sections to have the insultation removed with a shapie marker where they are to be soldered to the switches. Using the knife remove the marked insulation being careful not to cut through the wire. This part can take a while and is quite laborious to be honest so you may want to do this over a few days.

# **Build guide**

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

    make jmspicotkl:default

Flashing example for this keyboard:

    just copy the newly created uf2 file onto your Pico once it's in the bootloader.

See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 2 ways:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
