My awesome macropad!

I'm building a NASA-inspired programmable macro pad powered by the Seeed XIAO RP2040. It features three mechanical keys,two rotary encoders, RGB lighting and a small oled display instead of being just a shortcut keypad, the device is designed around different "mission modes" such as Coding, Study, Media, and Productivity. Each mode changes the functions of the keys and encoders, allowing the same hardware to adapt to different tasks. The OLED display acts like a mission control screen, showing the currently active mode and system information, while the RGB lighting provides visual feedback. The project combines electronics, PCB design, and embedded programming, giving me hands-on experience in taking an idea from a circuit diagram to a fully functional hardware product. My goal is to create a compact, customizable device that is both practical and fun to use, while incorporating a unique space-themed interface inspired by NASA mission control systems.
