My own keyboard pcb and 3d model
great work on hexpad, sorry that itwas returned so often D:
The design looks great and the PCB is awesome! However, please write the ReadME yourself without using AI, then resubmit.
your production folder is still missing the final firmware file ! and the picture of your case in the README still does NOT have screw holes - you need to add these !
Great work on HexKeyboard ! Just a few quick fixes are needed -
I need a screenshot of your final PCB in KiCad on your README !
Also, your production folder is missing the final compiled firmware file !
PLEASE NOTE : IN a LOT of your screen recordings, you are coding, or its just a stationary screen - in one recording you even worked on a completely different project - keep in mind, this is NOT allowed, do not do again !
Heya ! your macropad looks really good, but you need to add screw holes to your Case ! You also need to add your final firmware file to the production folder and then your good to go :D
Devlog #06
Improved PCB shceme and 3d model
Devlog #05
New discovery ! The PCB 3x3 keys matrix doesn’t work….. But i managed to solve this problem, simply i didn’t fully understand the concept of a matrix but now the cables and diodes are correctly placed. I am also fixing the wiring on the scheme because i am starting to hallucinate over this mass of cables
Devlog #04
I am now designing the shell, with a bit of struggle. Now it is only a grey box but i am planning to improve the model in the future
Devlog #03
I created a new design for my PCB. Checked all the connections and checking the correct sizes for the submission
Devlog #02
Finally after various hours of work I
-
Successfully finalized the keyboard matrix wiring, correctly integrating diodes with each switch to prevent ghosting
-
LED Implementation with SK6812MINI-E LEDs.
-
Fixed footprint alignment issues by standardizing grid settings and using precise coordinate positioning, ensuring all switch-to-LED layouts are perfectly centered.
-
Cleaned up the project structure by assigning individual symbols for both switches and LEDs in the schematic.
Devlog #01 starting to create the external shell, after small adjustments it should fit. When i will be done with this i will check every tollerance
Devlog #00
Finally designed the PCB after 2 long hours understanding the software and its functions. The next steps will be testing and my favourite 3D designing !
