Making a Hackpad!
I just found out there’s a whole guidelines page on making a hackpad T-T I’m so confused and very nervous to go on slack and ask questions. I have to redo parts of my work that were incorrect. I can’t believe how much work I have to do. It’s rigorous, but I won’t give up! T-T
I finished everything I need to do digitally! I’ve completed the case design but I’m a little skeptical about. Next thing – learn how to get funding for firmware. I’m really worried about this project even though its been easy sailing so far so, wish me luck :)
No cool screenshots, most of this hour was just getting prepared for the next part – creating a case. I got the software, so the next bit will definitely be me making the case. Progress soon in the next hour :/
I just finished the PCB for my hackpad! I had to restart from my old project almost immediately after posting hour #1 of building my hackpad because I remembered I forgot to add my footprint library. I went a little overboard and forgot about the recording, so hour 3 will be posted sooner than anticipated! : p
After an hour of technical difficulties with Kicad, I searched a few things up and finally figured out the files I was trying to delete are actually essential! I’m trying to make my very first hardware project – a hackpad! On another hand, nothing fatal happened, and we’re all set to begin the project for real :D
