Devlog 1
I have spent about 5-6 hours creating a tool to fix an issue many has, the tool sorts files into type based folders and catches duplicate files by the hash. It also flags old files that haven’t been touch in a while. It was built in python and used Tkinter. I definetly learnt a thing or two with python on this project.

Devlog 3 - The Case
After completing the schematic and the PCB I moved onto designing the case. This took me a while as this was the first time I had try to model something. I looked between onshape and fusion however fusion ultimately seemed to be the best software to use. After getting a slight understanding of the tool I made the case and it come out very nice. Next is the actual software.

Devlog 2 - The PCB

I went back and adjusted the schematic and removed the status LED as I was out of pins on the Seedunio and needed one more for the button press of the rotary encoder. From there I moved on to making the PCB design.

This was hard and took me a few attempts to get wired correctly running into different issue where the traces would overlap leading me to be unable to connect them to the Seedunio.

I finally finished the PCB design by adding the final M3 mounting holes for the case.

Devlog 1 - The Schematic

I started off my Hackpad today, this was designed around the Seeeduino. I decided I wanted 6 buttons, a rotary encoder, a little screen which I can utilise later and finally a little LED to be used as a status light to help understand what state the Hackpad is in.

I spent about an hour making this schematic but most were spent in ensuring that the ERC would run correctly without any errors such as something stating its not connected while being connected.

Finally, I finished the the schematic with a ERC with zero errors so next is the PCB layout. This was the first schematic I have ever made for a PCB so it definitely took longer that it maybe needed to
