📄️ Introduction
The minipad is a keypad with 2 to 3 keys. The special thing about it? It uses magnetic switches and hall effect sensors making it an analog keypad. This allows us to add features to the keypad no one could ever dream of, since we can accurately measure how far a key is pressed down, unlike with mechanical keyboards where keys are either pressed down (1) or not (0).
📄️ Purchase / Pricing
Please also check out our build guide as depending on your choice for the components as there might be small extra components (e.g. screws) you will need. These are usually very accessible, meaning you could buy them from local markets.
📄️ Build Guide
Building the minipad is very straight forward. The case is designed in a way 10mm long self-tapping flat-head M3 screws can be inserted into the sockets. The scews tap (hence the need to be self-tapping) into the resin, holding the two parts of the case together with the PCB in place in-between.
📄️ Installing the firmware
This guide will teach you how to download and flash the firmware for the minipad step by step. Before proceeding, please make sure that the minipad is plugged into your computer. These steps can be used both for the initial setup of your minipad, as well as for updating the firmware.
