Devlog-3
Was designing the enclosure for my hackpad
It took time finding right dimensions of keys and display.
More i design the enclosures more i realise how noob I am.
Next thing i might learn is to how to follow some SOP to make these process fast.
for example i might just spend some time beforehand noting down the dimensions etc.. so that i don’t have to get distracted in between designing session.

Devlog - 2
Finally done with PCB designing
3 times i lost the progress after reaching till end and going for DRC.
on clicking drc my laptop freeze and closed the kiCad without saving progress.
4th time i got my brain back and i saved the design before going for DRC yayy.

Devlog 1
Working on pcb designing of custom micropad.

Struggled to use kicad properly but the guides made it a bit easy

One thing confused me i the guide,it says use switch footprint given in care package but i could not find any switch in the care package. then i used a simiar named switch.

Somehow i reached to the end of design which was to route the traces but i think i should take some rest then continue with fresh mind.
