Just completed a simple KMK firmware for my macropad, including two keyboard layers and encoder/OLED functionality.
Finished the casing for my macropad, including space for the heated insets + screw holes.
Finished the basic frame of the macropad casing in Fusion! I still need to make holes for the screws + adjust some further details, but there is a frame!
The way I implemented the plateless mounting style is definitely a little weird. The top half of the case has plate “cutouts”, but there’s a little bit of clearance between the MX keyswitches and the “plate”. I hope this will give my plateless macropad a bit more support
I completely redesigned the PCB (again) to fix an error where I forgot to leave the USB port hanging off the edge… haha.
I’ve also begun the process of designing a case for the PCB in Fusion.
Custom redesign for a 3x4 layout with a rotary encoder + an OLED. Unfortunately, Lapse glitched and I couldn’t record the PCB design process.
