SIMOND the HackPad
This ship is just for the design and assembly of SIMOND, not the final product yet. SIMOND is a hackpad made with a rotary encoder, 5 buttons, 4 LEDs, and an OLED controlled by a xiao rp2040. I intentionally used a diverse set of parts so that I could learn as many different branches of PCB design as possible. I started SIMOND during blueprint but didn't get the parts until stardance started, so he's a continuation project. I probably spent 15+20 hours on him before stardance while learning the process.

I got around the broken mircontroller by changing the cable and some code. Then I tried to solder it to fix the orginal issue(the board doesn’t stay connected constantly). Long story short, now the board doesn’t even turn on. I think I cooked it when I was soldering.

Tried to fix soldering issue that came up while I was writing the firmware. Ended up breaking the mirco controller in the process. But the code hypothetically works. New parts are on the way :(
