Polished the code, and had to remove “Restart Windows Explorer” due to privilege conflicts.
Updated the README.md. Time to ship!

enjoy this parrot

YIPPIE it’s all done!

now just a bit of code clean-up before ship

One new feature, two new fun buttons

• Battery Report
  you generate a battery report if you have one
• Parrot
  spawns a terminal with a dancing parrot
• Mystery
  spooky…

Three new features:

• Update Winget packages: no more typing “winget update –all”
• Flush DNS: sometimes fixes website errors if the cache is outdated
• Clear clipboard: wipe your clipboard history of screenshots containing deleted Discord messages

New feature: Restarting Windows Explorer, using subprocess module

Made a recycling bin feature, to clear out some clutter using winshell. Wanted to add a afk feature, but couldn’t wrap my head around threading.
Also managed to fix the mouse locker, and switched from tkinter to CTkinter.

New feature: mouse no longer moves. You can still unlock it with click, going to try to remove that (pls help

Beginning what I think will become a toolbox of maintenance tools. First one: keyboard blocking. Did some research on it, relearnt functions and modules, and discovered tkinter. Yay!

completely forgot to make devlogs for this. whoops

so started this project and learnt that NASA gave free api keys which is pretty cool
but then my brain stopped and so a bit of Googling was required to help me understand the JS part

finished all that, took upon the challenge to embed the youtube video, but struggled, so threw that aside and did a bit of CSS, in the process found this cool stripe design from CSSTricks

managed to get the YouTube part working (just grab the code from youtube) and yeah. [placeholder] works

began working on the screws, yay! just messing around, seeing what works. give me some suggestions if you have them!

SO CLOSE
four more screws
istg if anything goes wrong

I did things to the case
Fusion is very difficult but I’ll learn it one day
for now can anyone please tell me how to change the colour of the case

Went to CTC Bagotville for some summer training and procrastinated like a good IB student

Basically did CAD for like two hours, Fusion is so hard to learnnn
(Had a temporary heart attack too as Fusion showed a previous model and I thought it didn’t save)

Nevermind… stuck with Fusion (still hate it). But I have something that looks like a case at least…
Going to continue working on it. Still have a top to make
:, )

So overhauled the PCB again… managed to reduce the number of vias and even shrunk the PCB! Also tried making a case in Fusion… hated it. Heard Onshape is pretty good, going to go try that out.

Completely overhauled the PCB, and added some silkscreen :> (632 RCACS 4ever)
I think I have too many vias, but can’t see another way around it… oh well, I’ll pay the price for it eventually (so please leave feedback…)
Time to make a case :D

First time doing hardware, first time posting a devlog, kinda nervous ~

So what’s RapidPad? Just my own HackPad I plan to torture with (this means trying out a bunch of stuff on it). It’ll have nine keys, a rotary encoder, and an OLED screen (subject to change, of course).

Anyways:

• Created a schematic. This took ages to modify: initially wanted 16 keys, but not enough connections, and I wanted to add a bunch of other stuff. In the end, I settled on nine keys, a rotary encoder and the OLED panel. Then had to learn matrix-wiring: Joe Scotto’s tutorial was pretty good
• Created a PCB. I attached a photo to show I 100% definitely knew what I was doing :> Jokes aside, I was not sure what I was doing. I’m going to ask in #hackpad, but if you have feedback, PLEASE TELL ME

Anyways, it’s 0254. I’m going to sleep goodbye
