Hackpad

Total: 25 Hrs

06/04/25: 1 Hour, Decided I want to do a hackpad, a hackpad that lets me use spotify without opening the player (i dont really need macros for anything else, drew out my idea and studied hackpad guide and made my repository. Was also in the highway call and talked with other hackclubbers about their idea.

06/08/25: 2 hours, Opened kicad project, downloading the OPL SEED library and started my schematic. Put in the symbols of my components except OLED. Spent much time figuring out how to add oled symbol.

06/11/25: 6 hours, I was in a call with friends also working on their highway projects. Wired up all my schematic. I learned to make a symbol for my OLED, and gave them all footprints. I wired it up in my PCB editor, adding text aswell, completing the PCB portion. Downloaded fusion360 to start my sketch for my case.

06/24/25: 4 hours, I added an image to the silkscreen, as well as grab the 3D models of all my components for the pcb.

06/27/25: 5 hours, I created my sketches and model for my case, as well as import a step file of my pcb to see how it fits and started sketching my top piece.

06/27/25: 7 hours, I finished the top piece, tweaking it to fit the pcb, putting them all together. Exported all the neccesary files and made KMK main.py for firmware. Finished!
