Welcome to the Cheapino Keyboard v2 Build Guide!

### Step 2: Diodes
|

|

You need to be careful to solder the diodes the correct way.
|
||||
The line on the diode should always be closest to the square pad of the footprint,
|
||||
NOT the round one. The PCB supports SMD and throug hole diodes,
|
||||
and you can choose which side you want to mount them.

I suggest mounting them on the top side, to keep height of board as low as possible.
