DEVLOG #1

Hello y’all!! I am back lol yeh I didn’t take even a single day of break after shipping DONUT PAD and started working on this new project called the NemOS :]
I am following the WebOS 1 guide and I am done with the first 2 sections but sadly had to stop there because of this frikin big error which didn’t come from the code but the extension itself ;-;
So basically I was using github codespace to make this and if you know about it even a lil bit then you would know that you need to preview your website after every smoool change. For this I was using the live preview extension made by microsoft but after like using it for like 3 hours it crashed or whatever you wanna call it ;-; it kept showing me some typo error and IP address when i tried to preview my website which was so dayummm annoying I searched google reddit etc etc no cure people have reported such problems before but no cure available ;-; I don’t know what to do now I really wanted to show y’all my cool art pieces I added as wallpaper and stuff but this frikin errror ruined my day xd
Imma try to come back to this tomorrow with a fresh mind ;-; so cya for now ;-; Gudnight!

DEVLOG #12

Hello y’all!! I am so excited to share with you that my first hack club project aka my first hardware project is finally completed!!!!
Man not gonna lie I learnt a laaaat from these 2 weeks of grinding lmfao this was such a fabulous experience!! I can’t believe I am done lol xD
Also this means it will be my last Devlog of DONUT PAD :p but don’t y’all worry I will be right back with another project!!

Here’s the github repository link for DONUT PAD: https://github.com/adonutartist/Nemos-Hackpad-DONUT-PAD

Thank you to everyone who liked my devlogs I hope I get my project approved soon so that I can receive that kit to make DONUT PAD a real thing ehehehe!!
Cyaaaa!!

DEVLOG #11

Hello y’all!! Today I grinded like insane lmao xD but it was really fun!!
I added kintsugi type design on my case plate! it was quite lot of work because drawing so many lines but it kinda felt satisfying lol xD
Also I made the main body of the case the shell where the PCB sits to be transparent so it looks really cool you can see the PCB that is awesome for sure!
I have started working on my github repository too so I am sure I can submit it tomorrow!! Yeppp tomorrow it is!!!! I am so excited to finally complete my first hardware project this was surely a fun grind!!
Cyaaaa!!! Gooooodnight!!!!

DEVLOG #10

Hello y’all I am back! Today i completed the QMK firmware part!!
To me this part felt like a nightmare because I don’t have any experience with coding and stuff like that :P
But after completing QMK with zero errors and .uf2 file I feel coding ain’t that hard lol xD
It surely took a laaat of time but it was fun! Compiling takes like 15 minutes though RIP my potato PC X(
I am planning to make my case transparent and adding some more cool designs to give some originality and uniqueness so I may hop into fusion again tomorrow :P
Cyaaa!! Gooodnight!!!!

DEVLOG #9.5

QMK MSYS installation and setup completed!

DEVLOG #9

Hellooo y’all!! I am back with a lot of progress!!
First of all I completed the case added USB hole and screw holes. Finally after 4 days of fusion grinding case is done!! I even completed the final rendered photoshoot for the whole case with the PCB and the switches, encoder and the OLED.
I also read through the QMK frimware tutorial how to install QMK MSYS how to setup everything took some time but finally done with the installation!
Tomorrow I am gonnna try to complete DONUT PAD :O and also ship it hopefully lol xD
Cyaaaa!! Gooooodnight!!!

DEVLOG #8

Hello y’all I am back and today I made lots and lots of progress on the case!! I think I am very close to completing my first hackclub project!!!
The case is almost done I just need to add holes for screws now and then I can ship it hopefully!
I added some decals on the case and text with engraved effect :]
I also changed the appearance material of the case and the plate :3
Also added Rectangular hole for the OLED display :>
Things left to do are adding screw holes, and USB hole.
Cya!! Gooodnight!!!

DEVLOG #7

Hello y’all I am back after a grind of 4 hours :p
Frikin fusion 360 is so hard to understand for my bean brain sighhhhhh….
Anyways made a lot of progress on the case! I added a adapter for the rotary encoder, understood sandwich mount and the basic case is kinda done lol xD I am kinda speedrunning this ig…
Gonna make the shelf tomorrow and add cool personal touch to the case! Cyaaaa!! Goooodnight!!!!

DEVLOG #6

Today I worked on the case but not much because most of my time was spent on learning this new software :p
Fusion 360 was hard to integrate with hackatime so my work hours were not properly added but no worries ;-; lost 1 hour of work hour T-T
I used a website called keyboard layout editor to make a layout of my macropad similar to the layout of my PCB and then I copied the raw code of the layout pasted it in another website called ai03 plate generator and it gave me a .DXF file which i imported in my fusion as a sketch layer.
I wonder if i need to add a adapter step model for the rotary encoder in my case… well will think about that tomorrow.
Well anyways cya!! Goodnight!!!

DEVLOG #5

Hello y’all, I am back yet again with updates on my DonutPad! So firstly I was really frustrated by those LEDs so I took a break from the PCB for one day! Played some D&D too lol xD!
Today came back with a fresh mind I removed those LEDs, added a rotary encoder, made the edge cut rectangle size to 100mm x 100mm, did all the wiring yet again and finally completed the PCB!!!
This time I made sure to keep the wiring very clean aka comfortable to my brain lol xD!!!
I also downloaded Autodesk Fusion 360 which took heck lot of my time but no worries :p
I am still figuring out the ways to use this app ;-; I am not the best when it comes to 3D stuff but imma try ma best!!
Cya everyone!! Goodnight!!!

DEVLOG #4

Hello y’all! Today I am feeling so damm tired ;-;
Anyways today i fixed all the bugs that were occurring with my PCB well not all cause the LED aperture net link bug was too persistent so i had to just ignore it ;-; I am totally not running away from my responsibilities….
After i was done with dealing with LEDs i went for filling the whole board region with GND but it left gaps at various places hence more bugssss… luckily someone from slack helped me fix this one bug by adding lotsss of vias.
Tomorrow I will start working on the case through fusion 360… I am really scared of this part cause 3D stuff ain’t easy to do ;-; Anyways cya! Goodnight!!

DEVLOG #3

Hello everyone! Nemo here, HOLyyyy today was so dam annoying arranging PCB getting so many errors FRIKIN 161 ERRORS!!! I am frikin so cooked right now its frikin 3am sitting on this for an hour trying to solve this bug but it wont fix (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
First of all there was a bug with the edge cut the rectangle had some stray lines idk how that happened but I deleted those its fine now but still I am left with FRIKIN 116 ERRORS!!
It keeps saying some solder aperture bug with all the LEDs :-: from what I can comprehend it’s like one error repeating with all the LEDs and their respective pads seems like it’s saying the LED pins are too close together idk urghhh I will try solving it tomorrow because right now I am so dam sleepy ;-;
So bug fixing tomorrow! Cya y’all!! Goodnight :]

DEVLOG #2

Hello everyone! Nemo here, I am back again with my second devlog!! After hours of struggling I finally completed my schematic!
I learnt a better way of connecting stuff without those messy wires :p it’s called net labels it makes everything look much cleaner :)
I also used the matrix method to connect the keys/switches. Also added an OLED display thingie and lots of LEDs :>
Right now my biggest difficulty seems the LEDs cuz the one given in the care package doesn’t have a footprint so it kept giving me errors when I was clicking assign footprint so I had to download a new symbol and footprint for the same LED model from snapeda ;-;
What I am noticing is that both tthe snapeda one and the one from the care package doesn’t have the GND pin as showed in the hackpad guide and so it kept throwing errors saying no power at the point i connected the GND to every LED. I found a easy fix for this it’s called power flag it js tells the system that GND is power and hence error gone :]
Still had to assign the footprints manually… I hope it doesn’t cause any complications in the future ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙
Tomorrow gonna work on the PCB :D cya for now! Goodnight!!!

DEVLOG #1

Hello everyone! Nemo here with my first ever Devlog :D
I am working on one of the beginner course called the hackpad! Its going super smoothly as of now :3
I grasped the basics of PCB and Schematic making, it was hard at first because I didn’t knew the basics :p but i understood the concepts with lots of help from youtube and practice!
The course feels easy to follow and I am having fun hiding secret messages on my PCB lol XD
Tomorrow imma try to do some tinkering of my own like adding RGB LEDs maybe? It will be fun for sure! Cya for now!! Good Night :]
