This project was vetted by Shipwrights and is now up for voting. You can ship again after making more updates.

@panda returned your funding request ?

This is finished build, so you dont need funding ! (at least from the cover pic)

@1 returned your funding request ?

returning this as it has been funded by outpost! submit your build when you are done building!!

@obay returned your project

This needs changes before we can consider it shipped. Review the Shipwright feedback, make updates, then ship again.

I made a 3x3 macro-pad with 2 rotary encoders, and is used to control common cockpit camera views for Microsoft flight simulator 2020 and 2024. The most challenging part of this project was first, wiring up the PCB, when laying out the tracks in the PCB editor, and then having to spend hours debugging custom firmware developed using QMK MSYS, and VS.Code, due to incorrect referencing, and setting up the compile process correctly to ensure a flawless compile via MSYS. To test my project, people need to make sure that even though they flash the firmware onto the board, they should also make sure to assign key binds in the simulator itself. I left that part out of the project, as everyone assigns key binds differently to their liking (in-game).

Finally finished compiling the firmware for the flight_pad, after long hours of troubleshooting! I have effectively completed the project, but still need to make some tweaks to the case. After that, I plan to submit it!

Finished Designing the case for the FlightPad. It follows a simple, minimalist design asthetic, with a “FLIGHTPAD” engraving on top. This follows the sandwich style key mount.

Finished designing the PCB via KiCad, which utlizes both sides of the board, and a 3x3 matrix system. However, only one of the two rotary encoders’ buttons will be utilized due to a lack of pins
