Polish Polish Polish!
still have a bit more to do but I got the firmware into a finished state and created the Github page, overall polishing the project to get it ready to ship in the near future
cleaned up the CAD file and added snoopy! (woodstock too) started the firmware side of things but still have a bit to go on that side
worked on the case a bit more and changed a few things in the design. having fun!
revised the layout of the pcb so the cable would come out the back of the pad and the OLED screen would be vertical along the left side. started to work these changes into the case design
Finished PCB, and worked on designing the case after taking a week off working on this project for other more important projects! (whoops)
Hackpad!!!!
I designed what I wanted a Hackpad to look like and thought about how I could design around the ways that I could use one. I like designing with ideas first, then considering the rules of the size of the whole thing aswell as how the parts will fit into it, or any other limitations that could need to be designed around. I was inspired by the orpheuspad to have 4 keys in an arrow key formation as that would make the most sense for how I would use it. Then I started designing the PCB and, since it was my first time being hands on with this software, learning how to work with this kind of design that im not familiar with. Overall, I enjoyed dipping my feed into this project and am excited to design the case of the pad in a software that im more comfortable using!
