I am building a hack pad
I am building a hack pad
completed the firmware
completed the top too , now the enclosure is done . I made the top to be transparent and the bottom tray to be back
i started 3d designing the case but its my first time 3d designing hence it is really difficult for me but i am gonna learn the controls and then make a time lapse
When I first routed the wires it was confusing because my switch and diode names were random - nothing lined up in any logical order.
Fixed it by going back and ordering my switches properly, then connected all the wires again. After that everything routed the way it was supposed to.
I started working on my macro[ad , This is actually my 3rd attempt bcz in the first 2 ones i lost the timelapse hence could not post a devlog . I initially Decided to go for 4x3 Matrix keyboard with a oled, 1 rotary encoder and a single Led but half way through i realised that the board i was using (XIOA 2040) doesn’t have enough gpio pins and i had a decision to make either use xiao 2040 and scale back my keyboard matrix or use another board , at last i decided to use another board (Arduino nano 2040) which has enough gpios so i don’t have to compromise with my design
