My attempt to make a HACKPAD! I will decorate it once it gets here!! I swear!! I am just no good are CAD or PC design like Figma!!! I love decorating things! I think the functions are pretty descent! pls check out mypad/firmware/readme.md to understand!

Bruhhhhhhhh I finished it I think! I added a mounting hole to the pcb and the cad !!I am very excited but I got to keep myself cool and all cuz I might not get approved and that would disapoint me. I cleaned up all the pcb traces checked drc and erc a million times checked cad screw holes a million times and I got to the firmware. At te start I was daunted by all the terms like what does u mean QMK KMK FIRMWARE. But when I got the qmksys up and running I realised that pcb designing and cad was much more dreading altho I had to google a bunch of things! Anyways here is my repo if u want to laugh at my design or cry by burning ur braicells trying to understad it https://github.com/prodevmod/mypad enjoy!!!

i JUST BUILD THE CASE CAD WOW!!It is nowhere near perfect but most decoration will be done by hand when I get the 3d print.I added 0.2 mm tolerances and left a rectangular hole on the botom of the top layer bcs i will put a sticker there!! thats all for the most part!!

I started designing the case.I will be watching more tutorials to make everything perfect.I had a small issue with getting the pcb in the cad but know I am ready to continue buiding after I have successfuly solved this problem

I discovered some mistakes I had made in the making of the schematic and corrected them. Basically I had messed up the matrix. After that I added ground layers in both f.cu and b.cu as it was suggested to me in the #hackpad channel of slack.Now I am off to make the casing.

So originally it would be 1 hour and 30 minutes. But the one hour didn’t get logged because of a mistake of mine so it’s just 30 minutes. I designed the PCB four times and uploaded it to Slack so I could get other users’ opinions and that’s what prompted me to change it. I have uploaded it one last time. I hope they accept it. Here is my final PCB. And here’s the 3D model. I had to choose another footprint so that the keypad fits better.

I tried creating my own hug pad. I started off with the schematic and PCB. Although the schematic was correct, the PCB was very bad. It wasn’t made well so at least that’s what the hackpad slack told me and I had to redesign all the components on the PCB. That’s what I’m doing now. But the schematic is done yay!
