Perihelion ⌨️

Perihelion is a 4 key macropad with a OLED display and RGB underglow, made for Hackclub's HackPad YSWS.

This is my first time using KiCad, so I had a lot of trouble with designing the PCB and wiring it correctly. That's also the reason as to why the Macropad is extremely simple. If there will (ever) be a Perihelion v2, I really want to add more to it!
