Super awesome macropa devlog1!
I wanted to make a macropad that I could use for almost anything so adding onto the original are the components:
Joystick
Rotary Encoder Switch
OLED Screen
+1 Standard Button
The Rotary Encoder Switch and Joystick also have their own built in buttons that I accounted for!
So far, the biggest challenge was working the logic for a matrix that would not only support all 4 buttons, but allow the rotary switch encoder’s button to act as a “shift key” and change the voltage read through INPUT_PULLUP leading to different analog values -> different implementable functions. Also the rotary can swap through multiple different presets which sounds great in terms of options.
Next session, I will try to figure out a way to add header pins/sockets to offset some heights like spacers & make things more modular.
Learning KICAD and electronics/circuits was tough but tbh its kinda fun!
