Hackpad - My First Project Ever

Devlog 1

My hackpad is going to include a 9 keys arranged in a 3x3 matrix, one rotary encoder, and an OLED screen.

Since my project utilizes 9 keys, I needed to create a matrix to properly organize all of the inputs. Making the matrix took the longest time, because I had to learn how to stop it from becoming one big web.

Through making my matrix, I learned how to use net labels in order to better organize my wires which was a great help with everything else.

Finally, I roughly arranged all of the components in the PCB editor, and will start making my tracks soon.

This is also my first time logging hours, so a lot of my time spent was not actually accounted for. My real amount of hours spent was ~4.
