Macropad

This macro pad was designed to learn more about designing printed circuit boards, also known as PCBs. The software used when designing the PCB was Ki-Cad, an open-source software that allows you to tweak every setting to fit one's needs. The use of a macro pad is to be a device that plugs into a computer over USB to be used as a user input device. This macro pad features 12 switches and one potentiometer, meaning there are 13 programmable inputs to be used when plugged into a computer. The microcontroller uses a XIAO RP-2040, and an OLED was added to display custom text based on the computer's use case.
