hiya, you seem to have gotten funding and your hackpad kit, but havent physically built it yet. please do that, add photos of that to your readme and a youtube video of you showing it off as your demo, then resubmit!

Hey, the hardware flow for shipping a project has changed. Could you please update your project settings to indicate whether your project requires funding? If it doesn't require funding, please request re-certification!
Starboard!
Starboard is a compact 63×63 mm Hackpad macropad built entirely from kit parts with QMK firmware and a fully 3D-printed sandwich case.
I designed the 2-layer PCB in KiCad and wrote a custom-matrix QMK keymap (six keys plus encoder press, encoder volume control, OLED status readout, and RGB underglow), then cross-checked the firmware pin map against the board netlist from three independent sources.
Along the way I caught and fixed a stale prebuilt UF2 (a leftover 10 ms vs 30 ms bootmagic delay) by rebuilding deterministically from source, and confirmed every checklist dimension.
Finally I packaged the repo to the required structure and pushed it public!
Full 3D Modeling
It was way harder than my first thought…
I’m working on Fusion!
But I think I need to fix some collision and clearance a bit.
Does it look good?
PCB also done!!!
Schematic Done!
