My awesome macropad!

I finally finished the macropad and have finished the preparations for the submission

Devlog

I had problems exporting the files. Due to a previous problem Fusion 360 was turned offline and I didn’t realize it. Then I lost all the files and had to beg the spirits of my laptop to recover them.

Everything worked out and I finally finished the Case step and can move to the firmware part

I finally finished the case for the macropad. The last step is to write the firmware and my hackpad is ready for shipping!!! ;)

I focused on fixing some of the many issues my PCB has. There are a lot and I’m still figuring out what to do and what mistakes I did

I decided to change my PCB. From the Tutorial Version to a 3x3 one. So I had to learn how to design this and how to do it with a matrix. It was easier than expected (hopefully I did everything correctly)

But now I’m at the same problem as before. Put the plate on the case.

My issues are the holes for the screws and how to actually design them and not just create huge holes and extrude them to the max and how to properly put the plate for the PCB on the case, so that it will actually work

I finally designed the walls and made the holes. I’m kinda confused if I did everything correctly, but I’ll try to figure that out tomorrow

I’m currently learning how to use Fusion. I tried my best somehow designing the case, but I had a lot of difficulties. I hope I’ll somehow manage to build and ship this project in the near future…

Today I started with my first project on hackclub. My goal is to create a macropad. I follow the given guide and instructions to do so.

I learned how to use kicad and designed my very first PCB. With a lot of attempts I finished to somehow design it, but I had many issues, but I’m determined to continue and hopefully even finish this project/mission in the next days
