This is my first devlog.​Working on the OrpheusPad or Macropad project has been a real challenge that turned into a pretty frustrating experience. I started with a lot of enthusiasm, following the instructions from Hackpad, and spent hours in KiCad trying to put together the PCB design. Every step was a struggle—from resolving those annoying DRC errors to dealing with library configurations that were giving me a headache. ​Just when I thought I was close to the finish line and tried to finally link those libraries, the system failed me. The Windows manager glitched and KiCad crashed. Since I hadn’t manually saved my progress, and all my attempts to pull something from those .bak and .lck files failed, I’m back to square one. Now I have to start everything from scratch. It was a painful but useful lesson about how important it is to constantly hit “Save” and have a well-organized workspace. ​Besides losing my nerves over the technical issues, I’m now struggling with whether this is even worth it. I tried to open the submission form to order parts, but I keep getting an error. I don’t even know if the project is still active or if it’s already finished. I really don’t want to waste time drawing the board if the form doesn’t work or if the program has long since closed, so that’s my main dilemma before I decide to dive back into the work. So yeah for now i dont have any images for work but I will try again tomorrow.
