The Assembly : The project is done!

I finally did the assembly : everything is working fine and the result were quite good. I spent a lot of time in the assembly cause I waited a lot for the glue to dry and I wanted to make sure that everything will be fine. I'm ready now to ship it.
I'm very proud for what I did. The results were not the best things but I learned a lot from this project. Honnestly it was a great experience!

Finished the code

I made a working code for the stream deck and added for now :
Mute shortcut (ALT + M)
Deafen shortcut (ALT + D)
Copy shortcut (CTRL + C)
Paste shortcut (CTRL + V)
Task Manager Shortcut (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC)
(I didn't decided what it will be the last shortcut)

It took me a lot of time to modify some commands because I use AZERTY keyboard and the library used supports QUERTY only :(

Fixing the errors

After some time I fixed the issues that happened lately : I put the wires in their correct place and found that there was 2 diodes that were broken so I replaced them !

Soldering wires

I finally soldered all the wires properly and did all the necessary test : It took me 5 HOURS !!!
I advise you to solder every wire when putting it immediately, because when I organized all the cables without soldering, i didn't know how to solder because they were so many wires that I forgot how I placed them so be organized when soldering to save time.

Unfortunately I found after tests that there are 10 wires were soldered uncorrectly so i'll quickly fix them

Wire management on the main board

I spent so much time managing every wire on the board : I realized that It was way harder than I thought. There is a lot of wires so it was a really hard job to achieve it. Finally I managed them. I hope that they'll be in the correct place. (I'll know that when I'll finish soldering them).

Learning Matrix principe

I spent nearly an hour figuring out how can I mount the matrix correctly and hopefully I managed to learn how to do it. I mounted 3 buttons with the Arduino Pro Micro for testing and the result was quite good.

3D Design : Second Attempt

I finally brought the parts from the shop but I discovered thai I made a lot of mistakes : some mesures were wrong and the design of the bouttons and the pillars failed. So I fixed these issues by redisigning the bouttons and adjusting the pillars. I'll send the adjustments to the shop as soon as possible and begin with soldering the components

(this is the result of the first attempt, there are many problems that is hard to see them on the image)

3D Design : Completed!

I finally finished the 3D design : I made the necessary adjustments, added the bouttons and exported all the parts to DXF files so I can send them to the CNC Router (Unfortunately I don't have a 3D printer and the operation is really expansive outdoors). I needed so much time to figure out how can I make the boutons so hopefully they'll be fine. I'll try to get all the parts as soon as possible to see if there is any errors that need to be fixed.

Got the necessary components and begun to mount them :)

I bought the necessary parts and begun to place them on the board. I don't want to salder them now because I want to make sure that they fit properly in the box. This procedure of placing the components seems to be easy but it took a lot of time because I want to make sure that I placed them correctly. Also, I adjusted a little bit the design to make it better.

(this image is taken while placing the parts)

3D Design : Almost complete!

I changed some dimensions to make the components fit properly in the box. Also, I added a stand to the box so i was able to make him stand vertically with 35° angle. Here is a video of the 3D design :Video

Beginning of the 3D design

I started by making the 3d design because I don't have all parts yet. I did a simple box that have 6 squares where I'll put the buttons. The design is still not finished but I'm working on it. This is the actual result :
