So this project was meant to be a MacroPad in a retro style with 9 keys and 2 rotary dials, however this was to ambitious for a new hack-clubber with 0 PCB and KiCad knowledge so I am ending the project here to claim my hours of work that went into the project.
Devlog #2
End of the Line
I am unfortunately bringing my project to an end here as I have messed up my PCB beyond repair hopefully I can remake it for the next hack club event, but for now goodbye…
BitPad - Devlog #1
What I did
I learned how to use KiCad and made the schematic for the BitPad, a 9-key, 3 rotary encoder Macro-pad with a small oled screen.
Schematic
The schematic features backlit keys, a matrix grid for the keys, mounting points for the screen, fully wired rotary encoders and an interface expander so I can fit more components than the base controller allowed for.
