My awesome macropad!
Hardware- 2 Devlogs

First I created one with 3 buttons but I didn't have a time lapse so I created this one. It has a encoder switch and a screen.
After the PCB schematic, I used KiCad to build a PCB layout for my macropad, it was a little bit hard since I didn’t use a guide and arranged the components on my own. I learnt a lot since it was a new thing. DRC was annoying but also helpful. Do suggest if any improvements are required.

When I first built a schematic it had 3 keys only and nothing extra and it took me more time than designing this one. I added an encoder switch and a screen because it makes it more cool and gives it more functionality. I also learnt about adding labels. Last time I didn’t know about timelapse. I am amazed by how kicad enables us to make even more complexed designs. The wiring is less messier. Please share your feedback !
