Rotary Encoder:
Rotating: Scroll Wheel (Clockwise to scroll down, Counter-Clockwise to scroll up)
Click: CTRL
CAD Model
Everything is connected by 4 M3 Screws. It contains two pieces, the base and the lid. Made in Fusion360, which probably took me 10 hours to learn. I'm pretty good at it now!!!
PCB
PCB was made in KiCad, thanks to Meghana for helping me make it in her seminar.
Firmware
I used KMK for the firmware, you can find it inside the firmware folder. Was coded in Python!!!
BOM
- Seeed XIAO RP2040
- 9x MX-Style Switches
- 1x EC11 Rotary Encoder
- 9x Blank DSA Keycaps (I'm going to paint em!)
- 3d Printed Case
Extra Stuff
I like trains! And Minecraft!

Questions
How big is the MinePad PCB?
It measures 90 × 67 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the MinePad use?
20 parts. 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 MinePad KiCad files?
From the jeninh/MinePad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/MinePad.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/MinePad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the MinePad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jeninh before reusing the design.
