PyroProtato Macropad

Inspiration

I am in robotics at my high school and I work mostly on the mechanical of the team's robot. However, I've been wanting for a while to get into the electrical aspect and I saw this as a fun opportunity to get some experience soldering and making PCBs to hopefully understand more!

Challenges

The firmware was my biggest challenge, it was hard to figure out where to start or what to do. I might have to change a lot of stuff in the code once I get my hackpad, but I will keep at it and keep trying to make it work!

BOM

• 1x XIAO RP2040
• 16x Cherry MX Switches
• 2x SK6812 MINI Leds
• 16x Blank DSA Keycaps
