hackpad

The Hackpad is a 4x4 numpad/macropad designed for the Arduino Day 2023 in Bayreuth in cooperation with the hackspace Imaginärraum e.V. and Fablab-Bayreuth e.V.. It supports 16 MX-style switches, an EC-11 rotary encoder, and per key RGB LEDs based on SK6812.

In v0.2 all necessary components are through hole components (except for an optional reset switch and RGB-LEDs), but the ProMicro protrudes out of the case. In v0.3 this is fixed by moving some diodes to the bottom side. The bottom diodes however are SMD only.

  • Keyboard Maintainer: Nico Stuhlmueller
  • Hardware Supported: ProMicro is supported in v0.2 and v0.3 of the PCBs
  • Hardware Availability: PCBs can be found here

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 2 ways:

  • Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the top of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
  • Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if it is available
