Hey! Great work on this hackpad - really cool how you managed to get your oled working! We do ask however that you have a case for your hackpad. If you ask in #printing-legion, you will find many people who are willing to ship you a case interationally! If you still cannot find someone drop me a dm on slack and we can work something out.

NOTE FOR REVIEWERS
There is no domestic printer available for me to print. The person who was previously printing for print legion no longer has their printer functional.

Hello,
nice hackpad! please assemble the case and include it in your demo
I'm in Pakistan and I dont have a printer. The shipping was too expensive so I just returned the Hackpad grant.

Revamped Firmware
I updated the firmware to add many more features like a menu option, icons, RGB LED, Status and etc.
I'm working on Stats and Settings menu for the MacroPad.

Completed
I completed the firmware and the OLED + the keys work now.
There was alot of noise from A0 which made the key randomly get registered as pressed, and the encoder wasn't listening to me 🤓☝️
I suppressed sudden signal inputs and whatever signal was received for more than 100ms, it was registered as key pushed.

Done building!
I'm done Building the MacroPad. It took me approx 3 hours soldering the keys and stuff. I'm better at soldering now lol
When I was going to install the OLED I noticed i inverted the connections for the OLED and it was gonna look like this:
So I just soldered it via wires 🤓☝️
I'll now build and upload my custom firmware 🙏
I hope there are no issues with it.

Hey Uzzam, I like the PCB :D Could you please just make sure it's under 100mmX100mm so it's cheaper on JLC! You also need to add a 3D model of your PCB into your case, just to make sure it fits! I also see you don't want to have a top cover, so you'll need to add a bit more complexity to your actual PCB in the form of maybe some neopixels or something else! Final thing is you need to have firmware and KiCad files in your repo!
