Devlog 1 s2 :blahaj-:

This is my first “after-shipment MakeLog”, I am so happy to have my components that I actually forgot to devlog properly, so this one is for the physical build :blahaj-head:

What is the BKpad? :blahaj-reading:

This custom shaped macropad lets you write emojis, change your system volume, and is the best controller for BKball, my game :D

What did I do this time? :blahaj-witch:

I received all the pieces!!!
I now have:

  • the custom PCB :blabla:
  • all the pieces from the kit :hackpad:
  • The case (rip the lost one) :turtle-hdr:

With all that, I soldered the components, I tested the connections, I cut 0.5mm on each hole of the case, the translucent material is not very precise :3
I got to make the pcb go into the case then I soldered the keys.

I later had to make the inserts go in ! (don’t look to the 0.5mm not in the hole :blahaj-ghost-2: )

I had to resolder my first led and then everything was nice. It was super nice to have a “pro” soldering station (8898 JCD on aliexpress hehe).

Finally, I had to find a cable which could go in my case. Xiaomi cables are too big, some other wasn’t “data”. A no name one was good, so if I upgrade the design I will have to think about make more space inside :blahaj-scooter:

What’s next? :sparkling-blahaj-heart:

( I already did this but I prefer to cut the process in clear steps)
I will have to test the firmware, modify it, find it is deprecated then sell my soul to the demon :blahaj-shock:
Goodbye :D
