Appick is a four key macropad that can launch apps for you instantly. Currently, it can open Brave, Discord, Steam, and Spotify, but with some modifications it can open any app! This took a long time to create, but eventually I was able to finish this and created a good product.

Devlog #3 - Firmware complete!

With that done, my Hackpad is finally complete! I thought that I wouldn’t even be able to complete this, but with lots of perseverance (nasa reference lol) I was able to create full projects in applications I’ve NEVER used before. Seriously, I’ve never used Fusion 360 or KiCad before, but with help from a lot of resources (and a little bit of AI), I’ve created working projects. Hopefully this is everything I need to do, because this took a very long time.

Devlog #2 - CAD and PCB FINISHED!

This took way too long to complete. I had to remake the CAD project maybe 4 times because of random issues, and had to rewire my PCB many, many times thanks to the fact that the wires wouldn’t move with the objects. Anyway, I also added the components to my PCB and made a final, full CAD project.

IF ANYONE IS SEEING THIS, PLEASE GIVE ME FEEDBACK!!!!!!

Devlog #1 - CAD and PCB

Took a bit of time (unfortunately I didn’t log some of the time I spent on the CAD,) but I finished the base of the CAD, along with the PCB. What do you guys think?
