Blueprint

ArkPad

I want it to have 10 keys, 2 keys to copy and paste, the rest are to be assigned different keys... with this project I'm learning to make a schematic, PCBs, and move from Blender to Fusion for designing parts... No thanks I'm sticking to Blender. v1.0.3 released!

I got the pcb and components but not the case yet

20260201_165326
here i assembled, soldered it, and trying to figure out how to actually install the firmware, I was told that the case can take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive, so let's just wait, since it's been only 6 days since it's being shipped from singapore, I also received the kit and pcb from an unexpected country... the "DIY Electronic Peripherals Kit" is from Paris, France, and the PCB is from HongKong, I get all of these 0.91" display, some rotary encoders, screws, heat inserts, and 16 keys, which I only need 10, but it's good for replacements, I didn't actually expect the PCBs to be this thick, I thought it'll be as thick as a normal module... but overall, great! also I can't solder the leds cuz THOSE ARE SMALLER THAN WHAT I CAN SOLDER, i checked using a multimeter and that all of the keys worked and connected

3.5 bucks, there were no global standard direct, guy on blueprint support told me to use E post, it'll arrive in 10-16 days, jlcpcb is great, it's shipping to Indonesia
