Finally finished everything and now ready for ship (had to fix the CAD files another time xD)
In this Build-devlog did i assembly everything (while destroying 2 of the 5 platines) and compiling everything. As well did i fix my CAD files, so that everything is now fine
nice work!
great work on this, and its great that you have your case already !! thats amazing ! I just need one more change from you - you need a production folder !
this needs to have the following files :
- a gerbers.zip file for your PCB
- a .step file for each part of your case
- your final firmware file
add this and you should be good !
Long time since i uploaded the last devlog. one thing i forgot to upload was these changes which includes a lot of code reworking and commenting everthing to make it more understandable. in the future i will create custom applications with UI using .net Maui. at least if i got enough time remaining :)
please attach this to the hackpad mission and resubmit so you can get the kit :D
Awesome job! I love the CNC'd case, that's so cool. Could you just make a couple changes for me, add a step file of your assembly in the CAD folder, add your .kicad_pro file to the PCB folder, and when you resubmit, attach it to the hackpad project please. Thanks!
i finally fixed everything. because inside the last devlog did i commpletly forgot to update the Readme file and therefore every important piece of information towards the firmware xD. but i fixed it :) and as well added the .dxf files needed for CNC machining, in case someone would like to CNC machine his copy of my creation. (i did it as well)
with this devlog, i finally finished the entire firmware for the first ship of the Copy-Paste-Pad and all of its functions. unfortunatly is it so, that it took very long to compile the qmk, which is the reason why i as well included it inside github. so that others dont have to life trough the same struggle xD.
apart from that, did i comment every single file and as well understood the things i wrote with the help of ai, so that i could rewritte and improve it inside the next ship or better sayed until the next ship. i tried as well to documentate everything as good as possible, so that it would be easy to understand and use.
up to this point i as well made some little but nice improvements towards the casing and the pcb, as i accidently put the oled towards the 5V and a bunch of other small mistakes as well :P
I created the whole firmware, but sadly did i had to use ai for most of the .exe firmware part, there to solve the copying and pasting inside the computere, as it had to do with complicated librarys. But dont worry, before shipping will i fix the code and rewritte it, so that the ai aspect almost gets missing, just wanted a prove of concept. As well did i create a wood casing inside my stephfathers cnc mashine as i loved the idea of letting the Copy-Paste-Pad appear premium with wood, glas and so on.
I Tryed my best to create the firmware, but i struggle so much : P
Creating the Github Repo (forgot to record all of it, like 45min) and polished the casing
Created the entire Casing for the Copy-Paste-Board
Finalized the PCB and Schematic
