Thank you, this is great! On another note, what to solder? I've been playing around with arduinos and esp 32s but so far I've just used breadboards and didn't have to solder. Any recommendations for an easy project to take on?

Adafruit tends to sell things like their feather boards with loose headers, leaving the buyer to solder them. If you like playing with stuff like that it would give you an excuse to buy more boards.

Timely; I just finished soldering headers to a Feather about 30 minutes ago. :)

A mechanical keyboard is a decent project to learn on. I built a Pinky4 kit when I was starting out, since you can't easily buy a keyboard like it already assembled. (Ergodox/Moonlander have bad thumb clusters)
