This is NOT a Hackpad
See working here
I made this project to control parts of my pc with a macropad and my conclusion was that the things i wanted to do with a macropad where best achevable with espHome. The only problem with using espHome is that somtimes the buttons ghost press or double press, i dont know if thats a skill isue of me or espHome.
Features
1. 4x4 buttons that are programmable in HA.
2. An 128X64 oled screen that displays time and whats playing on spotify using a HA spotify intergration.
3. 2 rgb leds that are programmable in HA.
4. 2 potentiometers that are programmable in HA

Questions
How big is the Macropad PCB?
It measures 174.9 × 76.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Macropad use?
28 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8. 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 Macropad KiCad files?
From the DaanMB/Macropad-HA repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/Macropad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/Macropad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Macropad 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).
