# Soldered

## Want to make your own Makcu?&#x20;

Can't buy a Makcu? This guide is for YOU,

Steps to Make Your Own:&#x20;

1. Go here and follow the guide: [ESP32s3\_KMBOX Guide](https://github.com/terrafirma2021/ESP32s3_KMBOX)&#x20;

it includes all the info you need to assemble your Makcu, what parts to buy, and everything you need to know.&#x20;

There is also a [solderless](solderless "mention") method using a breakout board (not shown in the guide). If anyone wants to create a solderless version, DM me (.ihack) and we can make a new guide with photos!&#x20;

1. Assemble the PCBs and then open the AIO tool.
2. &#x20;Follow the on-screen buttons as shown.&#x20;

Note: The DevKit has a different port configuration due to its stacked PCB design. The Makcu has a flat design and follow the same port design. But don't worry – same product, same code, everything merged in one code. Go ahead and start building! if you have any questions, feel free to reach out!&#x20;

you do not need to press the buttons with devkit, the flashing is automatic.
