Robotics is just so fascinating.
I built my own RC car when I was 9, ever since I aspire to built projects which are super awesome and super fun!!! I luv working with hardware ,but working with software is kinda okish. It doesnt matter what you build, just be sure to have lots of fun while making it.

MacroMax is a A QMK-powered macro pad built around a Seeeduino XIAO, with a 3×3 switch matrix and two rotary encoders for volume and screen brightness. It also incorporates hidden features like a secret pass code to activate secret function, isnt that awesome.

I had no idea that i has just accepted a project which will have me intrigued, and have me hooked on till late nights. To be honest this roller costar wasn't only Funsies, it also involved countless seemingly unsolvable problems, for instance I had run into a error with DRC where it said thermal relief spoke was lover the the minimum, I tried everything rerouting again and again but it dint work, i even tried to delete the whole PCB and start again with scratch, eventually i found out that i couldn't keep any wires close to the spokes.

Its a pad where i tried to use the XIAO to its full potential, and I learnt a lot during the process.

It might see basic but I did put my heart and soul into it, and also dint know that there was Hackatime for KICAD, i wish i had know that sooner

Devlog3 -
-Finally completed the firmware and Onshape Designing
*First I had to take all the measurements form KI ca, implemented mounting holes and, according to the measurements making supporting beams, and walla it was done
*Later I worked on QMK firmware, broo not gonna lie it looked super intimidating initially but when I actually sat down and started working on it everything unraveled itself to form this not perfect but, one which logically made sense.
Cant wait to test it physically test it!!!!

Devlog 2- The regret and redemption 😭
I was so hyped up to make a macro pad, I posted my first devlog, after all that time tweaking the wire routes, figuring out why gerber files are called gerber files, running the DRC just to find out that 3 error, and redoing everything, I accomplished my dream board, OHHH noooooooooooo, bro i read the FAQ the next day and found out tht you cannot use other microcontrollers for this project, that feeling was awful, but it sparked evenmore tenacity in me, i worked in kicad for about 6 hours just to run into more DRC issues, 30 mins of rerouting everything.

AND FINIALLY- I was done with KICAD just to began the CAD, 2 hours in i found out that you have hackatime for onshape, isn’t that cool, bro 😭 couldn’t anyone hv told me that sooner. even after these setbacks i installed the extension and moved on.
AND FINNALY I WAS DONE WITH CAD AND KICAD
on first glance it might not look much but for a noob, and a learner i really took alot of time
