My awesome macropad!
Hardware- 5 Devlogs
- 8 Total hours
i am building my own keyboard
looks good to me, approved!
really nice project, ur readme looks ai generated so if it is please write it by yourself, and also include screenshots of all parts of your cad(i only see the bottom in here).
please write the README yourself ! tjis looks very AI generated - delete everything and write yourself pls !
Great work on the macropad ! unfortunately your repo and README are a bit lacking, read the guide at https://hackpad.hackclub.com/submitting
and make sure you get everything on the checklist before resubmitting !
now i stared learning c and learning about the arduino ide and packages
#devlog 4
i have created my cad, it is not to the point but its ok
i have created this in onshape
#devlog 3
just completed my pcb
from last time what i have changed
i. added 9 led
ii. fix the routing
iii. learn many thing about the led SK6812MINI-E RGB LEDs( believe me its peak)
and many other small changes
now next step is making cad in onshape
Devlog #2
completed my pcb wirring
Devlog #1 – Designed My First Schematic for a XIAO-Based Macropad (Need a Review!)
Today I finished the first version of the schematic for my custom macropad.
3×3 keyboard matrix using:
Rows: r1, r2, r3
Columns: c1, c2, c3
Every switch has a 1N4148 diode
I’ve attached the schematic below.
What I’d like feedback on
–> Is the keyboard matrix wired correctly?
–> Are the diode orientations correct?
–> Are the GPIO assignments reasonable for the XIAO?
–> Is there anything that could cause problems before I move on to PCB design?
I’m still learning PCB and keyboard design, so I’d really appreciate experienced eyes on this before I start routing the board.
