BOM update

So i was a bit over budget so i decided to not get PCBA for the PCB and instead buy a pre made AS5600 board to desolder the components to solder into mine its way cheaper to do this then buy all the parts because of MOQ and like this i already get the exact magnet i needed which was super hard to find on its own.

Bare firmware

So i wrote a bare version of the firmware it should work but i'm not sure and can't test yet but we'll see i used circuit python and some cool library's and this is one of the first times i'm using python so exciting but yeah ill have to prob write a new version after hope i don't have to change much.

in the image its only part of the firmware

Made case for macropad

So ive made some keyboard cases so this was easy its just a simple case with a power switch and i think it is perfect for the use and i'm actually going to use transparent keycaps so it will look so good with the leds

Made 3D model

So i did the whole 3D model and i had already these cool ideas where each pcb stacks and yeah it was really fun to make this it also came with some difficulty's but i think this should be the almost last 3D model

Main PCB and on off switch

So today i did two more modules one is the main modules where the nrf is and then the other one is where the power on/off switch is not sure if i'll keep this layout with so many daughter boards but for now it is what it is
i also fixed a few things in the schematic for cleanness and for practicality

PCB refinements

I'm going straight to what i did:

• Added Mounting holes.
• added connector for wires
• routed some more stuff
• added gnd layer

so yeah this was to make everything better like more useful

Small macropad

The macropad is going to be a companion for the Dial it will function as a modifier so if you press in one of the buttons it will change the dial from scroll to something like changing the volume or zooming in and out! Pretty cool right so the features are:

• Wireless
• RGB LEDS
• Really small and compact

it is perfect i love it

In the making i found some struggles mainly finding the right components and librarys and then the wiring in the PCB but it was actually easier then i tought i guess i have gotten better at making PCB's

Schematic + part of PCB

Made the schematic and i'm pretty happy with it besides its really messy and yeah in total its a pretty simple schematic i probably will still add a few things but the general things are done. Then i already started on the PCB and i'm making first the sensor module and then i'm going to work on the bigger board where the brains are.
