Building a 9-Key Macro Keypad: Debugging Diodes and Traces

Overcoming rendering issues, implementing diodes, and tackling trace connections in our custom keyboard project

we dive deep into the intricacies of building a 9-key macro keypad using the TS Circuit Core library. This stream focuses on debugging and implementing crucial components of our keyboard design.

Key highlights of this session include:

  1. Fixing rendering issues with diodes and ensuring they appear correctly in our PCB layout.

  2. Implementing a new 'Key' component that combines the switch shaft and diode.

  3. Exploring the correct placement and rotation of diodes in relation to the switches.

  4. Debugging trace connections between switches and diodes.

  5. Addressing various bugs in the TS Circuit Core library, including issues with component rendering and port identification.

Throughout the stream, we encounter and solve multiple challenges, demonstrating the iterative nature of hardware development. We also discuss best practices for issue tracking, commit messages, and project organization.
