PCB Design

After a grueling 2 hours of figuring out how to use KiCad’s designing system, I finally completed the PCB. The hardest part was definitely figuring out the wiring… and getting familiar with the tools of the app.
I tried to place the XIAO 2040 on the bottom of the board… but I ran into way too many problems. I figured I’d rather just move it to the side and have a nice place to add art / rest my hand :)

As for the use cases of this macropad, I plan on using it for three main things: a: shortcuts on my computer (obvi), b: CONTROLLING MY KINDLE! You can set up an HTTP server on your kindle if its jailbroken, using koreader. I plan on connecting the MacPad to a Rasberry Pi, which will sort of be the control hub, and that PI will send the signals to my kindle.
