My personal general-use macropad! I plan to use it for video editing, music production, and programming.

resolder and knob
Resoldered everything (all keys work great now), found a knob off of printables, printed the knob, realized press fit was wayy too tight AND knob was too short, so I made my own knurled knob in fusion. I'll print it tomorrow.

Built it
Everything came, so I started making it in real life
I didn't really have soldering experience and was working under time pressure so 😬 but in the end, I got it to work
Only small hiccup was bridging GND and 3v3 (which is rough).
Got the case and everythign working. Neopixels don't work (yet!) and neither does the OLED screen, but I think (hope) that it's software-based rather than hardware-.
aand the top left key stopped working after I shoved it in to the case, probably because of mechanical stress
That's what you get for poor soldering quality I guess. So I'll have to open it back up.

Hi, this looks cool but could you upload a fully assembled photo also can you add the top and bottom of the case as separate files to the repository this is all you need to fix!
