Built the thingy

So, I started with the LEDs, but I soldered it wrong and something bridged
(I know, my SMD soldering sucks)
image

I removed what I thought was faulty, still didnt work.
So I built a macropad without the LEDs.

This is how it looks now.
Pretty cool, right?

Also had received my 3d printed case a while ago, but forgot to log it lol

Just added the 0.2 hours (12 minutes) it took me to open it. (why do they vaccum pack the PCBs like that :hs:)

Hey! Great work on your hackpad , but could you please re-check the schematics , you have used a +5V symbol for LEDs but haven't connected it to xiao! Also don't forget to route it correctly after fixing the schematics. Thanks

Hey! Very cool hackpad but currently you are using the wrong LEDs , the ones in the kit are reverse mount! You can get the right LEDs from here . Also include the top and bottom cases of the hackpad in STEP format. Thanks!
