# Sweet16 V2

A macropad from 1up Keyboards: https://1upkeyboards.com/shop/keyboard-kits/macro-pads/sweet-16-v2-macropad-kit/

## Soldering & assembly tips

* Solder paste works great for the SMD components
* The rotary encoder needs to go in first before placing the key plate down
* Test each key after soldering the whole thing and re-flow joints or add solder if the key is not working
* Use a toothbrush with IPA to clean the flux off the board after each step

## Issues

The SMD RGB LEDs are all blinking like crazy in red and green. I had to turn them off. I'm not sure what I did wrong or if it's a firmware issue.

## Firmware

I used an Elite Pi with the QMK firmware.

### Helpful things for my Krita layout

* Most of what I need are [Basic Keycodes](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/keycodes?id=basic-keycodes)
* [Modifier Keys](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_advanced_keycodes?id=modifier-keys) for things like undo and redo
* I made a utility/switcher layer similar to how I configure my Moonlander. Pushing the rotary encoder is `TO(1)`, and on layer 1, the top row of keys is for switching apps. The macropad defaults to Krita.
* The bottom-right key on the macropad is `QK_BOOT`. Press and hold to get the RPi 2040 to bootloader mode.

#### Krita custom keys

* Q - Quick Palette
* Ctrl-Shit-M - Freehand Select

### Rotary Encoder

I have a rotary encoder on the right side of the keyboard, If you're using `encoder_map`, it's the second encoder in the struct.
