2 layers78 × 78 mmMani s hackpad, the printed circuit board in 3D

My personal macropad is designed specifically for video editing workflows. As a DaVinci Resolve user, I appreciate the efficiency of the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor, which is optimized for fast editing. However, the Speed Editor is expensive at around $435 and includes many buttons that are unnecessary for intermediate-level editors.

Overview

Mani s hackpad is an open-source printed circuit board by 0xmanidev, from the 0xmanidev/mani-s-hackpad repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 2-layer board of 78 × 78 mm with 14 parts on 27 nets, routed with 137 tracks and 16 vias.

It is built around the WS2812B. Its parts include 7 diodes, 5 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector. It belongs with the keyboards and input boards and the RP2040 boards of this library.

DaVinci Resolve Macropad

this is a project that is developed for me to increase my efficency in video editing apps Macropad Macropad Macropad Macropad Macropad this macropad provides control through 4 switches and an encoder with switch gives feedback through the led and display and uses xiao Rp2040 as an MCU and it is a2x3 matrix of switches and this is a multi layered setup that switches modes based on encoder switch state

I used kicad for schematics and pcb design and fusion and thinker cad for case design and hack club community helped a lot in this process

This uses circuit python and kmk for firmware of the macropad I used pyhton to develop the firmware and kmk is a derivative of qmk that is easy to use

made with ❤️ for hack club

Questions

How big is the Mani s hackpad PCB?

It measures 78 × 78 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Mani s hackpad use?

14 parts, built around the WS2812B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mani s hackpad KiCad files?

From the 0xmanidev/mani-s-hackpad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/mani's hackpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/mani's hackpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mani s hackpad design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
