So I am currently working on finishing up a dactyl manuform that I have been working on. I have one side finished. (First handwire! Hurray!) All I have to do on the second half is connect the rows and columns to my Pro Micro, but as I was stripping insulation off the ends of the wire I am using to connect to the MCU, something occurred to me.
Does the location on each row/column you attach your lead wire to matter? Does it have to be at the end, or can it be soldered anywhere along the length of the row? I would *think* that since it is based of of an intersection of x,y (row, column) coordinates that the location doesn't matter, but I have never seen any pictures of leads soldered anywhere but at the end.
It's not really a big deal, but I did think that I could save myself the trouble of trying to solder my leads to a diode that is in a super awkward position in the corner under the press fit socket for the Pro Micro.
Thanks for reading and any information you can share!
