Micro-Macro-Pad!
A small design with 4 Switches and 2 Rotary Encoders for maximum freedom with hotkeys. It's the first hardware I designed, and the first time I worked with both KiCad and Autodesk Fusion, but which was easy and fun to get started thanks to the resources on https://blueprint.hackclub.com/hackpad
Features
- runs on KMK
- added a little animation that flashes the OLED in a wave pattern on every keystroke
BOM

Questions
How big is the OwnPad PCB?
It measures 87 × 45 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the OwnPad use?
15 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 OwnPad KiCad files?
From the TheCreativDev/MicroMacroPad repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcb/ownPad.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcb/ownPad.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the OwnPad design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask TheCreativDev before reusing the design.
