NovaPad

A cool MacroPad with an OLED screen, 6 switches, and one rotary encoder.
Got the design for the case mostly done!
Although I have just ran into an issue where I made the holes for the heated inserts 4mm, instead of the recommended 4.7mm, so I’ll have to find a way to make room for that.
Finished the layout and traces for the PCB! I’ve also decided to finally name my MacroPad… NovaPad!
Along the way I realized just how hard drawing traces is, and learned a lot too.
I’d also ran into an issue when I had centered the LED’s on each of the keys, where some of the pads were too close, giving me DRC errors, forcing me to move all of the LED’s down 4mm.
Next thing I have to do is design the case.
(The tracker kind of stopped working for some reason, and this took me almost five hours, NOT 30 minutes)
Finished the Schematic! Name is a work in progress.
