Clear - Macropad

Hardware
  • 4 Devlogs
  • 5 Total hours

A macropad with a rotary encoder, OLED screen, and 6 keys.

Ship #1 Pending review

I made Clear, the macropad.

It may not be the best, or most aesthetic (although i did try), but it is mine, and thats just so cool. I was having many problems with the firmware, the boot button on the RP2040 was giving me issues, but eventually, I got it to work. I have buttons for Copy, paste, open apps and one to switch to my second desktop. I doubt I’ll use this alot, especially because it doesnt have a battery (i beg include a lipo in the kit), but i might buy one seperately and solder it on.

Oo and i forgot, soldering sucks, I hate it.

Anyways, hope you like my project, i dont think rating matters cuz i get 5 stardust cuz i followed the mission.

Cya!

i hate soldering its probably cuz my equipment is cheap and the tips rust so quickly and the solder (leaded) doesnt melt until 450 deg C and IM GONNA GET LEAD POISONING, AND I INHALE FUMES EVERY DAY

Hi Great Work! It looks like your BOM.csv (hackpad.csv) isnt displaying right, after you fix that you should be set! :D

Heya! Great work! Before this project can be approved there are some things that need to be changed! First, you have to create a production folder with your CAD, PCB and Firmware Files! Next you have to create a Firmware folder containing your firmware files! Lastly you need to create a BOM (bill of materials) in your readme!

heyo really cool project, but your repo structuring needs a bit of work. please follow the guide at hackpad.hackclub.com/submitting and also make sure you use .step files instead of .stl files.

Finished the PCB for my macropad, I finished wiring the components, placed them as I needed, added a ground pour, and exported GERBERS and STEP files for later CAD modelling.
