I've been working on a project designing my very first keyboard
matrix. It's not a normal setup, it'll serve as external input for my
tandy pocket computer. Well, V1 will be at least.  

I chose an atmega MCU as suggested by an online buddy and was delighted
to learn that I can program it with my rpi's gpio.

So I ordered a header adapter/expander from pishop. This gave me a
chance to order a few other things I've been putting off, like getting
an inexpensive case for my workhorse 3b+. Also got the inexpensive
(almost cute) gpio reference board for the hell of it.

Are there any newbie things I should look out for while I dive in?
I'll be doing all the work on my trusty stock pi500.
