I decided to redo the entire design, so it’s more of a wider rectangle. However, I am still so confused, and I can’t figure out for the life of me how to use Fusion360. This is going to be a long night
Now, I am working on adding a rotary encoder and OLED screen. However, I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to actually design it, because I have no idea what the dimensions are, and I am extremely lost. Nothing fits, and I have no idea how to use Fusion360. I am probably going to redesign the PCB in KiCad so I can fit everything because I am beginning to lose patience.
I finished the basic PCB and case design, then I wanted to add the screen and rotary encoder. The guide did not explain this at all, so I had to ask AI for help with instructions on how to do it. I also did the QMK firmware and mapped the buttons for what I want them to do.
It took me a really long time to build the case because the guide was extremely confusing to me. I had to redo the entire thing twice because I think some of my measurements were off. I ended up pasting the instructions into Gemini so Gemini could explain it to me, because this is the first time I’m building a hardware project, and I feel like the guide skipped a ton of steps. In the end, I think I did it right, and I’m looking to go for a sort of Minecraft-themed Macropad.
I spent the first few minutes figuring out KiCad, and finished the PCB, which isn’t exactly the same as the guide, but it is close enough.
Built a pretty simple Python program that calculates the points in Fromage for 4 players.

I forgot to add the feature that isn’t in the guide, so I made an app called Keon Quotesman. It’s exactly what it sounds like, it just randomly generates most of his most popular quotes.
Finished WebOS1, I added a Weather app, moved the icons, and used the Open-Meteo API for the weather app. I did have to ask AI how to use an API, and the new news report in the colemanotes app is a real post from https://www.buffalorumblings.com/authors/anthony-marino. Gotta give credit where its due
Finished Part 4 of WebOS1. I added a new app, Colemanotes, where news reports and articles about Keon Coleman are made. I used a very formal picture of Keon Coleman for the icon so people know that this is very serious.
Finished Part 3 of WebOS1. After looking up a tutorial on YouTube on how to make things look Apple-themed in CSS, I changed the box to look kinda like the new liquid glass. Here is also where the window is draggable and closable.
Finished Part 2 of WebOS1. Here I finally added some more Keon Coleman theme, and found out how to use the thick border from W3 Schools and their CSS tags page. I also created a top bar with a pill shaped gif in the center to match the Dynamic Island on the iPhone.
Finished Part 1 of WebOS1. This is my first attempt at actually writing HTML in a very long time, so its super basic and matches Buffalo Bills colors!
