I am building a hackpad for everyday use
This is a post to maintain my streak
I finished the firmware for the hackpad
I decided that if I had to go crazy, I would like to go crazy for something good so I tried to see my needs for daily shortcuts and also what would make my usage better
and added an encoder and a few extra switches.
(don’t ask me why there is a screen now; I saw a 3-pin and it seemed that it would fit in nicely.)
I was side tracked now i hve 5 buttons, a rotary encoder that can also count as a switch
The casing is done in an astonishing 40 minutes (I struggled for 30 of them because of the software not being capable of importing dxl files)
I did the PCB of the hackpad.
I would like to put a gentle reminder out here: DO NOT OPEN KICAD AT 3AM and also follow the instruction cause I was already with a rotary encoder ready to add things.
Lastly, the library thing took me 30 minutes IoI
