First macropad

I worked on power management and arranging the PCB footprints. Now all I have left to do is to finish arranging the PCB, route the PCB, and finish a CAD model for the macropad’s casing.

Worked on troubleshooting my schematic and completing the footprints. In my next sessions, I’ll work on the PCB design.

Worked on the schematic for my own macropad design. This was a lot harder than the three-key schematic in the instructions, and I learned a lot about wiring and Kicad. At first I wanted to fit in lots of keys and both encoders, but somewhere along the way I pivoted to a simpler design. I feel the final product would be easier to use this way. I’m having fun, looking forward to making progress!

Just finished the first version of the macropad. Beginner, so I followed the instructions. Can’t wait to reverse engineer some features and make it unique.
