hackpad?

i started cadding the case, but i lowk have no idea what to do because idk if everything is supposed to show up in the pcb 3d model (as rn it just shows the diodes and stuff but not the keys and its rlly stressing me out)

this lapse also took forever to fricking load im acc gonna crash out like im pretty sure there was another one before with like 55 mins attached but idk anymore pls help

i’m starting to remodel my schematics into my actual project now that i have the basics of kicad down (it’s very much testing my patience)

i want to make a cool little gadget that i will actually use for school and make my life better

features i’ve brainstormed:

• 3 modes; presentation, studying, and productivity
• presentation: slide changes, trigger speaker notes, etc.
• studying: set up all the study tabs with one click (automation), music control, and a pomodoro timer
• productivity: image background remover… idk the rest yet but it lowk js gotta look cool
• colorful LEDs!!

right now, i’m working on the schematic and holy moly is it testing my patience. i spent like an hour today trying to find the right models of stuff, and now i’m trying to figure out how to string all the LEDs together without triggering fricking ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS anyways thanks for reading <3

today i got my kicad set up (finally!) with the care package and everything!!

i’m really new to hardware stuff, but the guide is really helpful and i learned how to use the schematic and pcb editors!!

it took me forever to upload all the .sym libraries and files but i pulled through and got it set up

next time im going to start the actual project, which i’m still brainstorming (idk what i want to do with the hackpad…)
