My awesome macropad!

i did some pretty amazing work, i finished all of the firmware and it was a lot easier than what i expected. My firmawre has 2 layers and rn it the first layer is only for numbers like a numberpad/calc and then the second layer its all of the weird functions a normal laptop keyboard has hiddent in like the 15 millionth layer so ye. And i also did some repo organization and stuff and i am ready to ship i just gotta finish rating from another project and done.

I made the case and it looks pretty good. And i also tried to do the firmware but i got a little confused so i stopped cus i was too tired to keep going but hopefully i will ship in the next 2 days and its looking pretty amazing rn. And i also organized my repo and now is divided into cad, pcd, and firmware. And i think it would be really nice for me to do the firmware by hand.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, i had to redesign it…. AGAIN. Cus i found out that the 3d thing doesnt make any sense at all cus its just eyeballed it doesnt actually follow any patterns therefore it just doesnt make sense if i try putting a top case (which i would rlly like) and i redigned it following this dude’s tutorial on youtube and it worked and it looks even better now. only 2 hours later. Now im into the cadding.

Also i added some pretty nice silkscreen

Finsihed the amazin pcb and it looks pretty decent for being my first one and yes it looks pretty good.

But i had some probelms, first i organized everything and found out it was more than 100x100 mm so i had to rewire and organize the microcontroller underneath the potentiometer. Then doing the DRC i found out i had the microcontroller on the same side as the rotary encoder, so i had to rewire, then i found out it was overlapping with a pin on the rotary encoder so i had to move it again.

With a total of 4 rewireing i finally finished and its looking amazing
