Finished the PCB Design + Starting Case Design
Managing the PCB’s wires took a while and after doing it the first time I realized the white boxes around the key, or switches, weren’t supposed to overlap, but they were on my PCB. I ended up having to redo the wiring but it was definitely easier having done it once already. You can see my PCB design attached below.
I also started working on the case for the macropad using Onshape and making the top plate ended up being a bit harder than I thought it would because I had to measure the distances and manually position all the holes (although for the keyboard matrix I just used a linear pattern). You can see my so far very basic and incomplete case below. I plan on adding more flair, screw holes, and a cutout for the usb, but I’ve been mostly focused on finishing the top plate so far (which I did :) ).
