Added a deeper bezel for the OLED screen in the CAD and created the project GitHUB + README
CAD for the Model is done. I used onshape instead of fusion because sharing is a lot easier on onshape.
Psych, I lied. I did not finish the PCB since I forgot to do all the routing. I learned how to use a free Java Plugin called FreeRouter to help me do the routing
Finally finished with the PCB!!! It took me a while to figure out how to use the grid layouts to make a precise symmetrical grid for the keys. After that, orienting the diodes and flipping parts to save space was more I learned about PCB design. Took a lot of time but I think I learned valuable lessons!
I completed the schematics for all the keys for my custom A shaped design. I used a video by Joe Scotto to learn about matrix circuitry for the keys.
I learnt PCB Design? I used KICAD to make the base Hack Pad Design according to the guide. Now I will make my own Design of the A shaped Hack pad
