Finished

After week of waiting my parts came through and I have finished assembling it, it was a bit bad as my MCU that came with the kit stopped working half way through so I had to switch to another one but it turned out pretty cool.

Devlog 1

I have made a pcb for ppm, gyroscope and power distribution

Entry #7

• Switched to printing-legion
• Amazon Cost increased due to taxes and shipping :(

Entry #6

• Calculated Cost and sliced 3d prints to fit on printers

Entry 5

-I have made a pcb attachment for each switch for rgb leds

-Updated the plate and case to support proper stabilizers

Entry 4

• I have completed my 3d printed plate and my case and they are ready to get printed

-Now I am basically waiting on getting approved and funded

Entry #3

I am scraping the pcb due to many reasons

1. Pcb manufacturing is expensive especially with pick and place

2. It add unnecessary complexity in my build

3. Hand wiring is cheaper

Entry #4

-I am finally done with the PCB and the CAD for the pad

-I tried creating the code for the pad. I first tried using QMK, which proved really difficult since there is no keyboard layout that matches my board

-Now I am switching to KMK, but KMK through the POG configurator requires a board with CircuitPython, which I currently don’t have

Entry #3

I have continued my work on the macro pad, in these hours I have redone the wiring for the pcb as I had not used the copper pour for gnd, now the wiring is not that messy

I have also started on my case on fusion 360

Entry #2

I have finished the pcb

Entry #1

I have made the schematic for my hackpad. I have come to a setup with a 4 by 3 switch matrix, RGB light, OLED display and a rotary encoder. This setup uses the max GPIO available on the Xiao, now onto the PCB

Entry #2

I have completed the layout of the keyboard and managed to put the holes for the stabelizers, now I need to wire it up an make all the other things like the case and plate.

Entry #1

I have spent some time making a schematic. This is not my first time trying to make a schematic, as I have some experience with EasyEDA. To make this schematic, I followed a YouTube tutorial by Joe Scotto on how to Design Mechanical Keyboard PCBs with KiCad. I used his provided symbols and other resources for this schematic

Devlog #11

-I have added Spotify as one of my apps

Devlog #10

Pomodoro Timer

-Start and stop toggle button
-Automatically switches from work to break
-Ding sound effect to notify user

Devlog #9
-added basic internet search with user engine options

Devlog #8

-added quotes
-uses google fonts

Devlog #7

I have revised the app section to now a retractable task bar, simply drag you you mouse near it for the bar to come out. I have also added an additional apps section for more apps.
