Finished making the firmware, the github repo and everything needed to ship the project.

I have finally finished the case and the pcb, but unfortunately had to use AI to build the case for positions/coordinates of some stuff and with screws because fusion360 is really confusing and i recorded basically 1 hour 30 minutes of me making no progress with building a case because i couldnt figure out controls and google wasnt really helpful, plus im not really sure the exact rules of what is allowed for me to record using lapse or not so i kept pausing every few minutes. i did learn a lot about building using AI. I am now moving onto the firmware

still havent started building the case, yesterday i realized the switches and diodes and leds werent exactly lined up so i fixed it using chatgpt because i couldnt quite understand the grid system and how to use the features of the grid. just asked chatgpt to provide the x and y coordinates

just troubleshooted today and realized the errors i was getting in drc about leds dont need to be fixed. prob gonna start building the case tomorrow

I have little to no idea what im doing. Finished building the schematic, added led lights, learned what “vcc” means. Started building the pcb but the wiring is very unstructured. ran the drc and have 37 errors because i think that theres no clearance for the leds so i have to fix that tomrorow but besides that everything should be fine

Somehow it took me a while to figure out how to round up the edges of the pcb to give it a cleaner look. After figuring out how to do it i found out it was actually pretty simple, takes a few seconds max.

Just started working on the Hackpad mission. So far, I only have built the guide version of the PCB, no case, no code. I have had troubles with drawing the lines, or at least I think so because the blue lines for me were touching the blue circles, but not in the image provided in the guide, but I don’t think it’s an issue. And drawing the rectangle in edge.cuts, I don’t even know if that part is properly done. tomorrow I will be checking if everything’s correct, then build a custom version of the PCB (haven’t decided what to add yet) and hopefully build the case as well.
