Why Did I Design this?
First and foremost, this was inspired by the new Spiderman movie. I thought it would be fun to design a macropad that could be attached to an object like a spider (lol) using little spider legs. This way, you could have a wearable macro :3. In terms of practicality, this could be modified and implemented in hospitals, designed to help patients who are partially immobile get through their day.

Build & Assembly

Required Tools
- Soldering iron
- Solder
- Tweezers
- Small screwdriver for M3 screws
- Computer with USB port
- 3D printer
Assembly Steps
- Solder all the THT diodes onto the PCB
- Solder the LEDs to the PCB. I rotated the direction of the bottom row by accident so refer to the PCB layout if the orientation is confusing at all
- Solder the microcontroller, OLED display, and switches to the PCB
- To assemble the case, place the PCB into the bottom shell
- Attach it to the top shell
- Secure with M3 screws.
- Since this build uses the ESP32-C3, I will use the ESPRESSIF Arduino IDE Extension to install firmware
- Plug in the ESP32-C3 to your computer with a USB cable
- Select the correct board and port in the Arduino IDE, then upload the firmware
- Modify the code if you'd like to change Van's animations or tune selection
- Test your OLED (check I2C, SDA/SCL pins, etc) and your speaker
- Once everything works, you will have a fully functional Van!

Questions
How big is the Spider pad PCB?
It measures 79 × 92.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Spider pad use?
15 parts, built around the HS96L03W2C03. 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 Spider pad KiCad files?
From the SC50500/spider-pad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb files/spiderpad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb files/spiderpad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Spider pad 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).
