Vaskos is a custom hardware alarm clock built as part of Hack Club's BLARE program. The project focuses on designing and assembling a personalized timekeeping device from scratch—combining custom PCB routing, a tailored 3D-printed enclosure, and embedded microcontroller software to create a functional and stylish desk companion.
Hi, I finished the layout today. I exported the BOM, CPL, and Gerber files to the repository. I only have two steps left to the finish—CAD and Firmware.
Today I launched my 3-switch Cherry MX macropad project for Hack Club, powered by the Seeeduino XIAO ESP32-C3 microcontroller. I routed all the traces in KiCad across both layers, fixed the footprint pin mismatches, and aligned the mounting holes into a symmetric layout with rounded board edges. With zero unrouted nets and a clean DRC check, I’m now ready to add a ground plane and export the Gerber files.
