# Plaid-Pad <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Jovhxpr.jpg" width="400"> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/V82cMqq.png" width="400"> A 4x4 numpad/macro pad with only through hole components. It supports up to 4 rotary encoder. The positions for the encoder are interchangeable with keyboard switches. Below you can see the possible positions for the 4 rotary encoder (Rev1 only 2). *If you place a encoder in the top left corner (E1), you can't use another encoder in the lower right corner.* ``` Rev1.1 Rev1 ,-----------------------, ,-----------------------, | E1 | E2 | E3 | E4 | | E1 | | | E2 | |-----+-----+-----+-----| |-----+-----+-----+-----| | | | | E3 | | | | | | |-----+-----+-----+-----| |-----+-----+-----+-----| | | | | E2 | | | | | | |-----+-----+-----+-----| |-----+-----+-----+-----| | | | | E1 | | | | | | `-----------------------' `-----------------------' ``` - Encoder E1 performs a tap on `KC_F17` and `KC_F18`. - Encoder E2 performs a tap on `KC_F19` and `KC_F20`. - Encoder E3 performs a tap on `KC_F21` and `KC_F22`. - Encoder E4 performs a tap on `KC_F23` and `KC_F24`. *The F17-F24 keys are intended to be customized via [Karabiner-Elements (OSX)](https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements), or [AutoHotkey](https://github.com/Lexikos/AutoHotkey_L) (WIN)* It's a great companion to the Plaid keyboard by [hsgw](https://github.com/hsgw/) and heavily inspired by it. * Keyboard Maintainer: BenRoe [GitHub](https://github.com/BenRoe) / [Twitter](https://twitter.com/keycapsss) * Hardware Supported: ATmega328P with VUSB ([see Bootloader section](#Bootloader)) * Hardware Availability: [Keycapsss.com](https://keycapsss.com) ## QMK Firmware _Bootloader and Firmware ([default keymap](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/keycapsss/plaid_pad)) are already on the ATmega328P chip._ Make example for this keyboard (after [setting up your build environment](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools)): make keycapsss/plaid_pad:default // or qmk compile -kb keycapsss/plaid_pad -km default Flashing example for this keyboard: make keycapsss/plaid_pad:default:flash // or qmk flash -kb keycapsss/plaid_pad -km default See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
