Devlog #6: I Guess I still have a bit more to go!

I just spent 13 hours without a devlog and just realized that 3 of them won’t count. :(

But anyways Im pretty much done with the firmware now and currently I am polishing up a Boot up Animation on the oled screen of the anypad

What I did in detail

I figured out how QMK works and then I created a new keyboard and edited some stuff, crashed out, handed over some stuff to gemini, finally understood how c and json files work. Then over the last couple days learned cool functions the micro controller can do. And then I added those to the code. So I am quite sure the code now works, I’ll check it once again. And then I thought of why no make like a cool start up animation. So I asked gemini if QMK allows that and turns out it does. So attached below is a short clip of the first draft of my boot up animation. I am thinking of adding like a series of intros where it displays anypad. And then a quick intro of hack club and says By Shreyansh

Next steps?

Finish animation
Check Code
Check everything
Post a ship in slack and get peer review
Finally Ship The Anypad and hope it gets passed first try.
— Iterate if required
Collect all parts
Assemble!
Review
Use!

~~My goal is to be done with first 5 steps by next devlog~~
Scratch that, That was last weeks goal

This weeks goal is to like ship in like the next 2 days
