Macropad
Hardware- 9 Devlogs
- 12 Total hours
A 5 Switch macropad with a knob :)))
Waiting on a reviewer. We'll let you know as soon as there's a decision.
Hi! This project looks awesome, but you should attatch this to the hackpad mission, so that you get the kit.
Also, add an img of the schematic to the ReadME. I am returning, but be sure to resubmit with the mission.
#Devlog 9
The macropad is complete!!!
Made the custom volume knob, fixed up the colors of the Macropad and made the github repo!

Devlog 5
can someone help me with this macropad project 💔💔💔💔the case designing part is too insane for me + this is my first time using fusion
PCB mounts and switch plate made!
and lower back is dead if anyone got solution for lower back pain pls tell 
devlog 4-
wasted time on fusion 360 can someone recommend a better app which is beginner friendly unlike fusion 360 🫡
Devlog 3-
made some changes to the pcb like added mounting holes, made the type c stick out a bit more so its easier when doing the case, removed 1 knob because who even needs 2 knobs? and removed 1 switch because 5 are obv enough :)))))
Devlog 2
Finished the PCB of the macropad :))
first time making a pcb and first time using kicad pcb maker too made the whole pcb in under 3 hours it was fun and annoying as yesterday when i made it the app crashed and it wasnt saved and today i forgot to measure the things before placing them so had to redo the routing with proper measurements this time and added the .step 3d models so the 3d view of pcb looks sick!
Macropad devlog- started working on the schem and pcb of the macropad worked for around 2hours because learning to use kicad while making the designs and after the pcb was done (95% done just a few warnings was working on them) KiCad decided to crash 😀😀😀😀 checked local history and found no save of the pcb…
this tells us that we should spam control + s (didnt press control s a single time while making pcb)
