This is an awesome hackpad! I love that you actually made stickers for your keys which isnt something ive seen anyone else do!

Finished the numpad
*i did some work earlier but forgot to log it (making the stickers)
I changed my layout since i didnt like it anymore after making the stickers for the keys and actualy seeing the layout so i changed it, i also 3d printed the knob for the volume button so it looks better and made all the stickers for the keys and tested if everything was working.

designed a knob and stickers
i designed some stickers to go onto my hackpad since i had toi use Cricut design space for this it took quit a bit of time since its an awful program but i got it to work:
I also designed a knob to go onto my rotary encoder so it looks better:

firmware
I finnaly got the firmware working i first had to find out how to upload the firmware to the numpad since QMK flash didnt work so i had to do it myself, then the keys werent in the right spot so i had to change that and i forgot to code the rotary encoder so i had to find out how to do that and code it and make a ne rules.mk file since i didnt have one yet.

solderd everything
I soldered everything together, and snipped all the pins short so it will fit bettter in the case. Before soldering everything i first measured all the diodes using a multi function tester to know 100% certain that they are in the right orientation.

parts arrived + printed the case
I got all the parts for the numpad and 3d printed the bottom of my case to test fit the PCB which fitted very snug, i unfortuantly had to pay 13 euro in custom fees since postNL charges 10 euro to ask for BTW which was a bit sad but i can now start soldering everything together,

Hey, it looks like your readme is generated by ai, which is something we do not tolerate. Please write it yourself and resubmit!

This is really cool but you need a BOM could you add this

Your missing 2 things, 1 your BOM is missing and 2 ALL CAD should be in .step
