So my last lookout recording didn’t save so this devlog is for both of them. [about 4 hours of time of which around an hour was lost :( ] I played around with KiCad for a little and started making my wiring schematic for my hackpad. I chose to go with a 3x3 grid layout for my keys which would each have their own led light underneath. I also decided upon using a screen flanked by a rotary encoder on either side. When i started to make the pcb layout, I tried to import it from the wiring schematic, but i completely forgot to assign footprints to the rotary encoders, diodes, and switches, leading to an error message. After this was resolved, i started to move the components to their respective places. Initially, the XIAO Seeeduino p2040 was placed above the OLED screen, but this led to a lot of unused space, so I decided to move it to underneath the pcb, where the OLED screen would reside. Connecting all of the different electronics was a really difficult task, but after 3 hours of struggle, everything was connected! There are still a couple minor errors to fix, and a couple mounting holes to add, but for the most part, the pcb is done!
