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
