This is a macro pad that has 16 customizable switches. the keys are 4 x4 Layout . I will be mainly using it for controlling music. like play, pause, skip and replay and adding macro for opening any application
-
First we need to get the PCB and then startrd soldering the SK6812 MINI LEDs to all the pads of the PCB .
-
After that we need to add the SeeedStudio XIAO to the designated spot on the PCb .
-
Next we will solder the 0.91 inch Blue OLED Display to the PCB.
-
After that we will need to connect the SeeedStudio XIAO to the PC and upload the code given in the FIRMWARE and use Arduino IDE to upload the code .
-
After that we will take our 3d Printed PCB Case and and screw the pcb to the case .
-
Then we will add the 3d Printed top Plate to the Case and fix it.
-
After that we will put the Switches in the PCB gently , to all the Places.
-
And then we will add the Key Caps to the Switches.
-
The last step connect the Keyboard to the PC and start using it...
