I'm building an audio controller for desktops so that you can control your music without switching windows, also is more aesthetic for a desk.

@LiamCasperite on Desktop Conductor - Audio/Music Controller

I made a Desktop Macropad with 3 keys, a rotary encoder, and an OLED display. It was difficult learning Kicad and fusion and the project was a little overwhelming. As of now the firmware does not consist of actual media controls but instead placeholder key binds for customizability. In the future I hope to make it simpler, add some more uniqueness to the case design, and go deeper into the firmware (it is hard without the physical product). I am overall happy with how It turned out for my first project shipped!

Wrote firmware using CircuitPython, finished Fusion model, and compiled everything in github! I spent a lot more than 45 minutes (more like 3 hours) But I forgot to install hackatime when I worked in VScode and I forgot to use lapse for 3d modling. Overall I am very happy with the finished product however and excited to see it in real life!

I finished iteration 1 of a PCB and a case for it. I designed the PCB in KiCad to have the microcontroller, a knob, 3 keys, and an OLED. I then designed the case in Fusion so that it can stand up and face the user. This is only iteration 1 and serves as a rough draft given this is my first ever hardware project.
