zsharpminor's HackPad v1.2

My personal macro pad for productivity, with 6 keys and a rotary encoder, as well as a MiniLED. As mentioned in the Repo, this was my first serious project on KiCad! Quite a jump from beginner to expert - I think it turned quite well; hopefully it works! This project took around ~8 hours of work, a day well spent!

PCB ordered from JLCPCB!

After receiving my grant, I ordered the final PCB from JLCPCB. I went for black as there was no extra cost per color, and I think it would look great in a red 3d-printed case. Thanks HackClub! :D

nice hackpad! I like the little curve/filet next to the microcontroller. Make sure to send pics in #blueprint once you're done!

Everything looks good!! You just need to rename the hand made bom to BOM.csv, and the KiCad generated to something like BOM-autogenerated.csv

It's hard to find the BOMs if they have a long name

You need to add a seperate BOM.csv file and have to link it in your readme!

Your repo must contain the PCB gerbers as a zipped file.
