This is a Work in Progress!!

 

I made this macropad for use with my PC, it consists of 2 printed pieces which are mounted to eachother by using 4 M3x8 countersunk screws and ruthex M3 heat set inserts. I designed a custom PCB in KiCad for mounting the keys and microcontroller. This is my first time designing a PCB. I will eventually release the files when I have the time to make some revisions to the traces and the orientaiton of the microcontroller. If you like to make this Macropad for yourself please let me know, I ordered some extra PCB's so I can sell them for a small price. I haven't had time to solder my board and configure the software yet but I will update this page when I have. If you have any questions please send me a DM.

the current revision hase the top side of the QT-Py facing the bottom of the PCB so it is very hard to press the reset buttoin for programming, I will fix this in a revision.
