Dev log #6. 2026-07-21. Hello people! I decided to remove the rotary, it gave me so many issues and i didnt even know why i wanted it. But i got some help from someone in the slack! They noticed that i switches up the SDA and SCL, I didnt see that before. I made the lines sligtly thicker (0.3 mm) and when i did the auto route thing i got 0 DRC errors! I like how the pcb looks. I think im finally done with the PCB (hopefully i didnt jinx it) and will start on the 3d printing thing later. Thanks for reading!

Dev log #5. 2026-07-20. Hello people! I have finished the PCB!!!!! I had to make it slightly bigger to fit all the switches, and then i added a few images and refrences on the silkscreen! I did a invincible, young sheldon/big bang theory, Apple, stardance, albert camus and tyler the creator! I learned how to make silkscreen layers and a PCB in general. This is my first ever PCB and its been super fun! next dev log im probably gonna start on the 3d printing. Thanks for reading!

Dev log #4. 2026-07-20. Hello people! I did alot this session! First i finished the switches and diodes, then I added a OLED screen, then i added a rotary thing! i started on the PCB but im probably gonna redo it. I like how the schematic looks, i tried to make it as organized as possible. I had to remove the old switches and use a new model, since the first ones didnt have a PCB version too. This has been fun! I will probably make another Dev log after this. Thanks for reading!

Dev log #3. 2026-07-20. Hello people! I decided to work on a logo! it took about an hour. I took inspiration from apples old rainbow logo. I added the stardance “mascot” in the corner! I tried to make it as colorful as possible. I learned how to use canva better by making letters out of shapes. I might change the logo later on. I appreciate constructive critism. Thanks for reading!

Dev log #2, 2026-07-18. Hello people! i had even MORE trouble with connecting all the switches. I had to connect diodes, which was pretty hard to understand at first. I will probably make another dev log later today. I learned about diodes and how they look and connect. This has been so fun to do, even when i had to delete all the wiring it was just more fun to do it again and making it look better. I appreciate if anyone says if i did anything wrong in the picture below. Thanks so much for reading!

Dev Log #1. 2026-07-18 I had some trouble starting the project. I used EasyEDA which i had some trouble finding the rights symbols, But i finally foud the MX switches and started connecting them. I didnt connect all of them yet, i have four left to connect. This has been fun since this is my first ever hackclub project. I learned how to make a schematics and how EasyEDA software works. Im looking forward to see the end project. Thanks for reading!
