Devlog #5: Final Stretch Remaining!

Over these 9-10 hours I have finally finished my entire hardware section of The Anypad.
And now im gonna dive into the final software before arranging everything to be shipped.

What I was doing? What took me so long?

I found out why I couldn’t export my pcb from kicad. What happened was that fusion kept opening the old file because the name was in its quick cache. And so I fixed fusion’s cache and then exported it and placed it perfectly and it felt like everything is where it’s supposed to go…. But thats what I thought

But… Later after I added the key caps I realized…

I had messed up the positioning of the keycap holes on the top cover. And it was something that took a bit of a long time to fix. If I didnt fix it the keycap wouldn’t go all the way down and it would scrape the case.

Next steps?

1. Start and finish firmware
2. Debug firmware
3. Verify all designs and stamp final date on everything
4. Wrap all files in nice GitHub repo with an appealing readme
5. Finally Ship The Anypad and hope it gets passed first try.
   — Iterate if required
6. Collect all parts
7. Assemble!
8. Review
9. Use!

My goal is to be done with first 5 steps by next devlog
