About the Macropad PCB
Macropad is an open source PCB design by urayed, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 99.9 × 96.1 mm, with 29 components from 5 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MOUDLE-SEEEDUINO-XIAO. By type, the board carries 18 diodes, 9 switches and 2 ICs.
It belongs with the keyboards and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
Macropad version 1
BOM.csv # Macropad This is Macropad version 1.
The Macropad has: 1. 9 MX Keys 2. 1 OLED Screen 3. 1 Rotary Encoder 4. 1 3x3 LED Matrix
As of now, the firmware is likely very bare bones. For the future, I plan to create custom software for programming the keyboard without code. I also want to be able to control the OLED screen and LED Matrix for future projects, so that is also a project, itself, to work on. # # The Case The case uses 6 M3x16mm screws and is comprised of 2 parts.
