hey there, cool macropad!
for build submissions you need to include pictures of the finished build in the repo readme, and also, the journals for hackpads should only include time spent on building, so please modify the journals accordingly

Tier: 4

code and desighng

i just realised after shipping that my main bulk of time of coding and designing had not been included so i am adding this.
the code took me quite a long time as i do not know how to. addionaly the desighn was also a first so also took quite a long time.image

fixed the code

the code had a problem as some my connections were touching so the entire board was short cuircuitng
after a lot of playing around and some manual servering. i had to some to the conclusion to treat the oled and rotary know as dead. then finally i could only use the keys and it works.
b1,puts you on mute.b2 turns volume up.b3 puts volume down. and b4 deafens.

i soldered all the components on and now will try to get the code running. majority of my time was sent in the software side. hardware is pretty easy.

This is looking great, but there are two revisions that need to be made (and we are sorry for not catching this earlier). First, you have the incorrect footprint for your LEDs - it should be the ''SK6812 mini-e," not the "SK6812 mini." Also, your full CAD file must include the PCB (can be exported from KICAD) as well as 3D models of the key switches and XIAO (can be found online for free).

Hey! You are using the wrong footprint and symbol for the components, please read through the guide once more. Also you can find the right footprints here
