My awesome macropad!
Hardware- 4 Devlogs
- 3 Total hours
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!
