# Hackpad
|
|
|
|
https://hackpad.hackclub.com/ <- website is live! This is probably a better place to start
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
This is a limited-time introductory YSWS (you ship, we ship) where *you* design your own macropad, and we'll ship it to you for free! This is something you definitely don't want to miss out, so make sure to join #hackpad in the slack!
|
|
|
|
|
|
### You ship:
|
|
- A PCB Design and schematic
|
|
- Files for a case, either in STL or DXF format.
|
|
- Firmware for the keyboard. You are allowed to use QMK or other pre-existing firmware!
|
|
|
|
### We'll send you:
|
|
- 3 PCBs! Keep one for yourself, or share some with your friends. Or you can keep them all, I won't judge.
|
|
- a Seeed XIAO RP2040 microcontroller. They're pretty nifty microcontrollers, so you can use them for something else too
|
|
- Switches! Choices TBD, but you'll have a great selection
|
|
- Other components you may need, such as LEDs, diodes, knobs, OLED screens, and more!
|
|
- Your case! You can either have it 3D printed, laser cut in acrylic, or both.
|
|
- A grab bag of DSA keycaps, and a custom Hack Club keycap too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can get the macropads soldered if you don't have a soldering iron, or we can send you the parts directly if you're up for a soldering task. The only catch is that if you want it to be soldered, you *must* use through-hole components only!
|
|
|
|
### Requirements:
|
|
- You design a macropad that integrates a [Seeed XIAO RP2040](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/XIAO-RP2040/) as the main MCU. Nothing else allowed, sorry!
|
|
- It has 20 or less inputs. A single input includes a rotary encoder, switch etc.
|
|
- It is meaningfully unique to you. This could be as simple as making a custom layout and adding some decor, or as elaborate as writing an entire firmware in Rust
|
|
- The PCB only uses 2 layers
|
|
- The PCB does not exceed 100mm in length in any direction
|
|
- Don't make a macropad with 40 screens. Or out of pure gold. Please!!
|
|
|
|
Once that's done, you can go on and make a PR. The instructions will be in the template.

## Anything else?
|
|
|
|
This YSWS is only guaranteed to run through October 21st, so make sure to get yours submitted before then. Depending on skill level, this should take roughly 6-12 hours to finish.
