day 3… yeowch

so i decided i was happy with the key layout and things and got to work on the schematic. ummm… let’s say this is the “make it exist before you make it look pretty” phase. i’m a total newbie to kicad so learning how it flows took quite a bit of time, but i do feel much better with it. my major goal for next session is to finalize the schematic design and make it all come together nicely

currently, the design would require 4 separate PCBs (not incl. the macropad, which would make it 5 total); connecting the minipcb to the main isn’t an issue for me at the moment, but i’m still debating whether i use a wired or wireless connection between the two boards. i think i’m going to opt for wireless, which introduces power draw as an issue…

progress is being made though!! next session i promise promise to bring back a much prettier schematic and (hopefully) be ready to start actually creating the lay out :) my ambition is to have completed the PCB by the end of this week so that i can move on to making the case!
