June 19, 2026 - Started designing my PCB.

Joe Scotto’s video was truly helpful.

Designed my basic PCB idea. I will now add in more parts and update in the next devlog.

So, you might think I posted that I will be using a C5 in my last devlog but I used a S3 instead? Actually, I researched a bit about it on 18th June, forgot to record it, I came to know that C5 or even C6 has no OTG capability for a wired failback but a S3 has it. So, I pivoted on to using a S3.

I watched Joe’s video and learnt new thing about KiCad, I have used it before but didn’t know so much about it. I had to re-install it due to an OS change.

I have also decided to write a custom micro-python script because the Espressif family doesn’t support KMK or QMK first handedly.

Joe’s and HC’s KiCad package is a life saver for someone starting with KiCad as they provide almost all the required components inside it.

I am making a Matrix Design 2x3 macro-pad.

Excited to complete it and feel it in hand.
