I designed a small PCB for a macropad in KiCad (my first one!) and got it manufactured!

I learned a lot about PCB design, from using nets to what ground planes are.

I got the PCB manufactured but parts won’t come in time for Flavortown.

I added SK6812 LEDs to my PCB and routed their ground and data pins

Next will be to route the 5v IN pins for them!
