really cool project and really cool CAD! it does appear like you have gotten your funding and not physically built it, so please do that and add that to your repo+ a demo of you using it IRL.

really great work ! i love the way it looks, the attention to detail, angled case, and omg the way you exposed your usb-c port so you dont have to put it on the edge but you can put a cable in it ? genius 10/10

I built the Specter V1! It is a custom 9-key macropad featuring a rotary encoder and an OLED display, powered by a Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040. I designed the 2-layer PCB from scratch in KiCad and modeled the custom two-part case enclosure using Onshape. I think the biggest hurdle with my project was just the fact that I’m new to PCB building so I was making a lot of little errors in the schematic that I was able to fix at the end. I’m most proud of my design, especially having the NY Knicks logo and representing the city I’m from.

Wrapped up the final production files to officially submit the project. I fixed the C code to successfully compile the QMK firmware, generated the KiCad gerbers and drill files for the PCB, and converted the CAD assembly to a .3mf to bypass file limits. Finished the session by structuring the GitHub repository, formatting the README with the BOM and screenshots, and dropping the final post in the ships channel.

Hey everyone! I finished adding parts to my imported board on Onshape and then started working on the casing.
