From Zero to Macropad

Updated my readme and release and ready to ship for the new system!! (btw i just realized that I forgot to post devlog after getting this 1 hour so don be surprised by how I get this hour so fast

Here’s the video demo of my working macropad

Tested out all the functions, updated repo/README and rendered this

• Added a professional Release page
• Formatted my README in the way how I did for all the other projects
  *** Btw dont be surprise how I got these 2 hours right after my previous devlog (simply cuz I forgot to log this a month ago lol

I soldered the keys and the board!!!
But for some reason it’s still not working, apparently my Arduino Micro has some issues too cuz it kept disconnecting itself when tried to flash it……

Updated my demo and published everything online including uploading my PCB design and schematic to Kicanvas!!!

• Uploaded the demonstration model to Printables
• Fixed and recompiled the firmware cuz I just realized it didn’t match the schematic…….(AHHHH

I installed QMK and added the firmware folder, hope it works when the parts arrive

• Added a socket for Arduino Micro power supply
• Purchase parts: Arduino Pro Micro, Cherry MX key switches x 9
• Follow tutorial to order PCB from JLCPCB

Finally made the case by following along with a tutorial

• Macropad base
• Macropad top case
• Imported PCB and switch keys bodies

Flavortown beta finally launched!!!!! Got too many hours to log

1. Fixed Hackatime for Fusiong 360 because it was not compatible with the latest version

• Remember to install requests and chardet in Fusion 360 directly (in the Add-in folder)
• Change main.py to the same name as the .manifest file
• Directly indicate the path to the pip library installed

1. Setting up Hackatime for Kicad
2. Redid the schematic and redesigned PCB as I didn’t include GND and reset button
3. Learned Fusion 360 and built a practice project along the way
4. Started building my first Fusion sketch

I designed the Schematic and PCB of the my macropad
