First ever project involving a PCB.

Worked on selecting the parts I would use for the macro pad to set constraints for dimensions and made a simple sketch in CAD to visualize the layout.

I wanted a macro pad with 9 keys, 3 rotary encoders, and a OLED to display stats like cpu temps / usage, RAM usage etc….

I had trouble finding a OLED with the correct dimensions that suited my project as aliexpress or amazon dont really specify dimensions but i found a supplier called waveshare that provided the information i needed and a suitable OLED.

Based on my research I will be using a keyboard matrix with diodes to prevent ghost keys, i will be also adding RGB lights to enhance aesthetic appeal.
