+# MacroPad
+
+The macropad project. This multi-years long project is an attempt to design and assemble a custom keyboard, with the end goal of using the experience from this project to design and build a custom keyboard that I can use for programming lighting with my nomad setup. (Basically a keyboard who's layout is identical to that of an ion, but sends the QWERTY equivalent keycodes into EOS.) 
+
+The keyboard is a 4x4 matrix (16 buttons), that are programmed using the QMK firmware to do what ever is needed.
+
+There are also SK6812 LEDs under each key for underglow and highlighting the label on each key.
+
+## Hardware History
+
+**Rev. 1** - 2022?
+- Lost to time in a `rm -rf` accident (oops)
+- Key matrix worked fine
+- LEDs did not (I got the Vdd and Vss pins backwards and layed out the PCB with power on GND and vice-versa)
+- I had some difficulty with assembly of the small SMD components
+- USB communication and flashing worked fine
+
+**Rev. 2** - January 2025
+- Fixed the issue of the backwards PWR/GND on the LEDs
+- Changed the orientation of the LEDs and key switches so light shines on the top of the key not the bottom
+- Moved the microcontroller into a more sensible location
+- Improved trace sizes for some critical signals
