Hey! Cool project but there are some issues with the schematics and pcb, please re check the wirings for the LEDs and as of now the OLED and the Xiao will collide togther, I recommend to move the xiao to back layer! Also please organise your repo with designated folders! Thanks

Hey! Great work on this hackpad, but it looks like you havent correctly filled your ground plane in the PCB file (by pressing "B"). Right now there are traces being shorted to ground which shouldn't be, so if you could fix that and upload the correct file we can take a look!

This looks great but it doesn't quite seem finished yet! Could you make a case for it? Also please change the type to hackpad so that you can get the parts kit.
A few more things:
- Right now you are using the SK6812 footprint. The leds included in the kit are the SK6812MINI-E. They can work with the SK6812MINI footprint if you use the SK6812 symbol that you currently have but it might be hard to solder that way. I would recommend using the symbol and footprint that are meant for it which you can get here: https://github.com/hackclub/hackpad/tree/clean/extras/kicad_care_package
- In your schematic it looks like the first led is backwards and the input goes to Dout. You can mirror it in x to fix it.
Right now your GitHub repo is a bit empty, look at the submission guide to make sure you have everything needed: https://blueprint.hackclub.com/hackpad/submitting

pcb
This is the circuit board. I still had to make a few minor adjustments to the schematic. I added an extra knob. The rotary encoder adjusts the volume on my computer and displays it through a menu on the OLED screen. Allis included a 3D model so I can make it look better in 3D.

make the scamatick
This is my Scapatic for my hackpad. I've changed it three times, but this is what I finally came up with and went with. I'm going for a Matrix-style button layout. The socket will be connected to an OLED screen.
