+# Playbackpad
+
+A pad with a rotary encoder and 3 switches to control playback and volume. I made this because it's painful to go to the app and click on pause every time it's my time to talk in a meeting <i>yes I listen to music while meeting 😁</i>.
+
+## PCB
+
+I quite enjoyed the PCB making process even though it was painful to find libraries for the OLED so I didn't use it.

+
+## CAD
+
+Made the casing with Fusion 360, quite painful to make the holes ngl 💀🙏

+## Firmware
+
+Made it with KMK firmware, the rotary encoder for volume, the switch on the rotary encoder for mute/unmute, the left key for previous, the middle key for play/pause, the right key for next.
