Today I added mounting holes to my pcb, and got the 3d library/rendering in order. I am planning to export this, to help me model around this in fusion. Also: I did not remember to check the required max dimensions, so it got too big. I hope this does not affect anything. (I asked on slack, and they said that its more of a cost thing, so I should try submitting it anyways)
I finalised the pcb! (Hopefully…) Next step is the case!
Shittings, wiring is hard… I found out the hard way, that wiring everything fix, is not good before you know the layout. I had to rewire everything according to the new layout… Im almost done with the pcb arrangement, gonna finish it tomorrow.
Today, I finalised the wiring, and started on the pcb. I added a 74AHCT125 level shifter before the leds. When designing the pcb, i ran into some problems with the allignment of certain switches, leds, and transistors. Still trying to figure out a way to allign everything correctly.
Today, first i realised that i had put more switches than there were in the kit, so i redesigned the whole matrix, and wired all the components (hopefully right), than had some issues with importing the footprints (god it is awful…) But i got it figured out somehow! Next step is to verify tahat the wiring isn’t complete bs, and then getting started on the actual pcb layout.
Today i made the wiring diagram for the “final product”, and had a whole lot of problems with the switch matrix. If only could one change the colors per wire on kicad… Anyway i know it still has problems, ill fix them tomorrow.
Today I made a plan for the layout of my hackpad,and also made the basic pcb from the guide, just to get used to kicad. I had some problems with the library installation, but i figured it out… I am planning to expand on the pcb tomorrow. The layout is only for the keys, i will add the oled screen, and i am hoping to make a nice rgb matrix with the leds in the kit aswell.
built the main frame of the project, including get, post functions with a database, future plans: put, patch, delete functionality. Will probably add a test database soon
I am working on a new project, OfflineSurvey! This is strictly an offline survey to keep confidential information off the web. Today I buildt the basic question protocol, and a really simple html frontend. Planned functons: file upload and surveyer side app to make the reviewing easyer.
Hello all! I am working on a really basic slackot called sackbot! Built with the normal commands, and a little more! It is running 0-24 on Hackclub’s bot-spam channel on slack. /sackbot-help to use!
