StarPad

Was quite a busy day!
Finished initial submission of StarPad, added Star Wars designs, and finished CAD design of case.

Today was also dedicated to coding everything (used QMK), and it was a success! The 4 keys control up/down/left/right, and the rotary encoder controls volume. Haven’t coded the OLED yet, don’t know what to do…
Can’t wait to see what revisions I get on StarPad.

Mostly done work on the general design of the macropad. Want to turn it into a star-wars based macropad, but finished the general design.

Had a couple of issues that took a bit more time to fix…. Firstly, accidentally forgot to save my kicad files, so they reverted to an old version… (-3 hours of work). Also, I struggled to align two holes in onshape, which I spent like 30 minutes trying to fix.

On a good note, the entire PCB electrical section is done, and in the next devlog, I’m just going to do external adjustments!

Designed first PCB(!!!), so it’s a bit messy :( . Designed to work as a macropad, I didn’t have the time to CAD the shell for the actual one.
Included is timelapse of my first practice PCB, following the “My awesome macropad” tutorial. Onshape CAD is included.
Can’t wait to continue with this project tomorrow!
