Devpost 5
They may be the last CAD design work, I added some more details by having a lift on the top where my socials are
Added a angle and extension at the bottom
Devlog 4
Worked on CAD primarily and fixed the model of the PCB
The design was based on the case of a calculator. I also added some words and I’m deciding to ship for funding before I start working on code and backend of the macropad
Update devpost 3, worked on 3D PCB and started cadding out
Cad: Inserted my current PCB in, added keycaps in, created a top case to layer the key switches, and created an idea for my rotary encoder knob
Need to fix: the knob’s texture, the PCB’s key switch
Making: The entire case
PCB: Downloaded models from Gracad and inserted all my components into the PCB.
Need to fix: The model of the keyswitches as there’s two legs sticking into my PCB and my LEDs
Making: Nothing, it’s finished
Second devpost here I spent 2 hours replacing all my LED’s and retraced everything in my PCB
After fixing up my PCB’s tracing I drew filled zones and made a better 3D viewer
Hi this is my first devpost and includes the schematics, PCB, and 3d viewing of my first potential microcontroller!
This was a super annoying challenge as I tried to get 11 switches and 1 Rotary Encoder’s tracing to be clean. 2 hours in and I figure out how the switches, LEDS, and diodes were mixed so it took me a while to figure out organizing all the wiring.
PLEASE if you have the time review over my PCB and I have no idea if I had made a mistake or a risk with wirings.
