About the Shady Pad PCB
Shady Pad is an open source PCB design by samdoes-stuff, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 3.6 × 3.3 mm, with 28 components from 6 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO. By type, the board carries 17 diodes, 9 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector.
It belongs with the displays & leds and keyboards designs in this gallery.
From the project
A 3x3 custom sized 8 key macropad for app shortcuts equipped with a 0.91 inch display and EC11 encoder
I later did not used LEDs in my PCB ## Firmware - KMK based, - Screen used for identifying layers, icon display, and signature display - Custom rotary encoder decoding software from one analog pin - Custom Key object designed for the rotary encoder multi function button - Advanced use of macros and hotkeys for daily use ## BOM Please refer to BOM.csv
