2.Chose svelte for no reason (other than to learn)
3. Made Gemni write a data.json to Prototype w (eventually will nosql/sqllite it)
4. Season Select using radios that look like buttons w functioning hover and select colors ( took alot of time and help NO AI THO ALL DOCS)
5. Profession Select drafted but need to Read and add the perks to the data/process in js

New color coded wires and new schematic from the book ‘Practical Electronics for inventors’ I blew up a 555 off camera while working 
Also circuit still doesnt work ive tried making my own taking it frm yt and from a book now idk why its not working gonna check wire continuity tmr and make sure im cutting the wires long enough to make contact
Mosfet is still a mystery to me but ill figure it out :)

Worked on a schematic from a yt channel that seemed to work for him but didnt work for me so starting again :)
WhimsyBoard is a 4*3 Macropad with a Rotary encoder and a oled screen mapped for the optimal Music control, programming and automation macros in mind. The board allows you to have two Dynamic macros to record and play. The board also has the 12th key (bottom right) set to move layer for more customization without ruining the original layout
The name comes from people calling my whimsical and the logo is just a svg from svgrepo that reminds me of my blahaj plush
The board has some Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae lyrics sprinked in since they are the artists i listed to most while making this
The hardest part for me was EVERYTHING except the schematics
making the schematic was almost peaceful except finding footprints and importing them
Routing the pcb is an art IT took my atleast 5 revision on lapse and outside of it to Get a decent routing and i had to remap the pins enough times to make everything look presentable
CAD was genuine hell since it was my first time and i didnt know much abt the fusion eventually shifted to onshape aft learning basics from trying and failing in fusion Decided to make an open case since its alr very packed and i want the Copper Text to shine

Whimsy board IS FINALLY COMPLETE
Firmware was honestly hell with the build times and sparse (im also not that smart) and sometimes confusing QMK documentation
CAD WAS HELLLL Took so long to even understand how to even start but eventually moved to onshape which was MUCH easier
Schematic was the best and the most delulu stage imagining your board and how simple it is to make smth like this and then you find out why they cost so much aft
PCB routing is a diff hell i have a new sense of appreciation for every single pcb that exists so simply w no vias

Done w the physical board and design added A shark cuz my ikea plush whimsy cuz ppl call me that and then some song lyrics which i love as a bonus 😭
currently is a 3*4 matrix of switches w a rotary encoder and a oled display
Top section of the encoder and two keys are gonna be reserved for playing music
