Almost done! I believe I am done with the firmware, as well as the PCB and the case! All that is left is to create the GitHub repository. In other words, the bane of my existence.

It took me quite a while to figure out why I couldn’t compile the QMK firmware for my PHM Pad. I couldn’t really figure out what was up with my matricies. The result was a couple of hours of essentially useless surfing across the web, until I finally thought of looking through the repo of the original HackPad, the orpheus. This allowed me to see the weird nomenclature of the matrix rows and columns. I then decided to go on a bit of an adventure to find the full table for the names of the different pins of the Xiao module. I replaced them and, would you know it, it worked. At last, I was done with the firmware.

I then proceeded to work a bit on the github and try to learn what goes where for the repository. Nothing much, really.

Cheers!
