Since last devlog,
Added rotary encoder, OLED screen, LEDs and re-designed layout to follow scanning matrix layout rather than direct connections for each switches
Because of added complexity as well as additional components, PCB was much more complex and a lot of time was used to make sure no traces were overlapping or spacing issues between components.
LEDs were not through-hole so they could only use one trace side, which made process also much more complex.
Finished basic design for Hackpad PCB
I have never designed a PCB before so it was a challenge, especially routing the PCB and making sure no connections shorted, but the hackpad guide helped a lot.
