My macropad
About the My macropad PCB
My macropad is an open source PCB design by Coder-13-11, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 57 × 43.5 mm, with 7 components from 5 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO. By type, the board carries 4 switches, 1 IC, 1 LED and 1 diode.
It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
Hackclub Macropad
It has two layers to work with: one for media controls and the other for copy, paste, and undo. The knob click changes layers. It runs KMK, so it’s very easy to change it later if I want to add more functionality. There’s also an RGB LED, which I plan to use as a status LED. The OLED screen will have some animations and maybe some stats about my PC.
The editable assembly is available as Entire Hackpad.step. Printable STL files, firmware, and PCB Gerbers are in hackpad-main/Production.
