working on css!

Finally completed!! The ratsnest was a bit challenging, and while working on that part, I paused the recordingto get some water and unfortunately forgot to unpause it and did all the ratsnest.

made some progress :) but doing the ratsnest part is a bit challenging

I’m making an RP2040-based dev board! I’ve finally completed the schematic, and it’s looking pretty good and surprisingly complicated :)

made the bom and added parts in cart to find the amount to request

Finally completed the PCB! I also added a cool B.Silk cat doodle and made a case for the dongle. The only thing I’m not completely happy with is that the cover hides the B.Silk artwork. Also, wrote a simple code to blink one LED!

Dongle!!!! Created the schematics and just started working on the PCB editor! Was facing a few issues, but I’ll figure them out and fix them later.

finally the firmware is done!! BUT i missed screen recording the firmware part as i went to get some water and then i forgot to turn on the lapse and learned a lot about kmk and micropython but didn’t recorded it.

Finally :D I completed the PCB and the case! It looks really cool, but I definitely had to spend a lot of time on it. The PCB was a bit challenging, but the case was pretty easy to make.For the firmware, I initially planned to use QMK, but after spending a whole hour trying to set it up without success, I decided to delete it and switch to KMK. Later, someone in Slack told me that I could work on the firmware once the hardware arrives, so now I’m basically at the final steps of completing the project!For the case, I added four little supports on the bottom to help reduce damage to the case. And honestly, the silkscreen on the PCB is probably my favorite part! :D

I am making the case for my macropad! As I have attached LEDs on the sides of pcb i thought to make a honeycomb pattern so that when light goes out, it forms a cool shadow and looks sick! And now I realised that the rp2040 will also be on a side, so I need to edit that as well and make the cover and make screw holes!

btw, is this a good idea?

Finally!! I managed to complete the PCB part, and I’m really happy with how it turned out! It took quite a bit of time and effort to get everything working and looking the way I wanted. It actually looks pretty cool! And now, onto the next phase of the project… the case! Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

started my WarioWare game! made the main menu and used gdscript to code the buttons!!

I messed up!!! so i was trying to align the leds perfectly on the edge of the pcb but first i counted there should be 20 LEDs(5 per side), then i realise there should be 18(two opp. side with 5 leds, and 2 opp. sides with 4 leds), but later i reallized that xiao rp2040 will be on a corner so have to reduce 2-4 more leds so in simpler words i wasted a whole hour of my life figuring out how and where to place leds on a pcb!!! will restart later!

So now I have completed the schematics with 9 keys, 9 diodes, 10 LEDs, a rotatory encoder, and a display. i also assigned the footprints. and will do the pcb editing in next lapse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sorry for sooomany exclamation marks!!!!!!! And I hope I am making this right??

So it’s my first time using KiCad, so I followed the Hackpad guide and made a basic PCB and made a case, but now I think to take the challenge to use 9 keys, a rotary encoder, maybe a screen, and upgrade it.

finally completed the project!!

To make the environment feel like a functional desktop rather than just a stylized landing page, I built two new core applications into the system dock: a working Calculator utility and a dedicated “About Me” panel. For the calculator, instead of relying on basic, insecure evaluation tools, I structured an inline string compiler using strict execution rules to handle chained arithmetic expressions smoothly, mapping the interface out onto a clean button matrix. Alongside it, the “About Me” window serves as the primary personalization node for the OS, using custom CSS flex badges to cleanly highlight my background. Everything is feeling incredibly cohesive now.

I expanded the WebOS environment by developing two primary user application layers: an optimized Images explorer and a data-handling Notes . The Images app introduces a gallery layout displaying wildlife and animal photo within a grid component framework. Both components integrate with the global window architecture, maintaining active content inputs without losing interface synchronization.

In this update, I successfully built and integrated two major system utilities into the core desktop environment: a Settings application and a Calendar . The Settings app introduces real time workspace customization by implementing an input interface that captures image link addresses and immediately binds them to the document body’s style property, allowing users to switch out the global background wallpaper instantly. Alongside this, I added a calendar component.
