“Vaskopad — a custom 3-key macropad built with a Seeeduino XIAO and Cherry MX switches, designed in KiCad from scratch (schematic, PCB layout, and routing) with a 3D-printed case.
Great job!
Hi! Everything looks great, as i mentieoed before please add a firmware folder with ur firmware files! :D
Hi! Looks Good! Sorry for not mentioning it before, but before i can approve this you need to add a production folder with your final CAD, firmware and gerber.zip files! Lastly please add pictures of your final CAD and PCB in your readme as well as a BOM.csv (bill of materials) Sorry!!!
Hello! Great work! However, ur github repo looks to be AI generated! Before this can be approved, you have to make sure that you are the one who is making the ReadMe! If a human is reading it a human should also write it! In addition, make sure your CAD files are .step because .stl files cannot be modified! Also make sure you have a firmware folder following the hackpad submission guide: https://hackpad.hackclub.com/submitting Lastly, make sure to add a PCB Folder for all of your PCB files!
Vaskopad is ready for production! 🚀Uploaded all final files to GitHub:PCB: Gerber & Drill archive (Vaskopad.gbr.zip). Assembly Data: BOM (Vaskopad.csv) and Pick & Place (Vaskopad-all.pos). 3D Enclosure: Case and 3-switch top plate STL files. Next up: fabrication and assembly!
Designed and model-checked a custom 3D-printable case and switch plate in Tinkercad for the macropad. Created a 3-hole switch plate, fitted it into the enclosure pocket, added a side USB port cutout, and exported both STL files ready for 3D printing.
Finished PCB routing for my macropad — 3 Cherry MX switches wired to a Seeeduino XIAO. Had to flip the XIAO footprint a few times to get it oriented right 😅 Edge cuts next, then the case.
