Finally!!!! After like 3 recordings I was finally able to record one and post about it. This first part is going to be about the problem I have been having, and then I’ll talk about the cyberdeck.So I have been using Lookout to record my logged hours, but because I didn’t know how to use it, I wasted around 7 recordings, about 2 hours each. But I still have these recordings, I just can’t post them because I accidentally closed the tab with the recording before it finished doing whatever it needed to do. I didn’t realize closing the tab would stop me from being able to upload them, so now they’re basically stuck. If anyone knows how to solve it, it would be really useful because I’d hate to lose around 14 hours of work.Anyway, about the cyberdeck.I started where I left off and wanted to continue wiring everything up, but after looking over it properly, I realized it was all wrong. At first I thought I could just move a few wires around and fix it, but the more I looked at it, the more problems I found. Eventually I decided it would be easier and a lot cleaner to redo the entire button matrix instead of trying to patch it together. It wasn’t the most exciting decision because it meant throwing away some progress, but I’d rather fix it now than spend hours later trying to figure out why nothing works.After redoing the matrix in the schematic editor, I went back and measured the radio again. The first measurements were probably close enough, but I wanted to make sure everything was actually accurate before designing around it. It’s one of those things that’s worth double-checking because if the measurements are even slightly off, it can cause problems later when everything has to fit together. Like they say, measure twice, cut once… or something like that. I figured spending a few extra minutes checking everything now would save me from having to remake parts later.
