macropad

Case

I have been working on Onshape to make the case. Getting famiiliar with the platform took a long time before I could do something.

I finished the case but I should adjust the USB port, it can be done later.

I had to adjust it because I figured that I had flipped XIAO on my PCB but didn’t do it on my 3D model so I wasted a little bit of time.

Right now my switches are in place but there still is a strange gap between the key holes and the switches so I have to fix that.

I also have to add the LED screen in the assembly.

I think I will be done after that!

I think I’m done we ith the PCB, I moved the XIAO so that it wouldn’t bother the oled display while keeping the OLED centered.
For the OLED dimensions I downloaded the footprint from the ressources page, I didn’t see it before.

I’m almost done routing the PCB. I just need to find the right measurements for the OLED and then get it centered at the top. Then I’ll start the case!

I added 9 switches for basic keyboard shortcuts and used the matrix layout as recommended in the guide. I also added an OLED display but I don’t know what it will be for yet.

i finished the macropad guide , something went wrong at the end but i will figure it out another time
how do i log time for that on hackatime though i have no idea, i’ve been trying to figure it out but i’m so lost
