Saw this nascent #macropad for #mathematicians and thought of #mathstodon

Their slogan is "Type equations at the speed of thought with this specialized keypad".

I made a thing,

it's a custom macro pad.

the buttons do the following :
- upper left : turn for main PC volume, clic for mute/unmute

- lower left : Up for extended multi screens/Down for single main screen

- upper right : Up for previous track / Down for next track

- Lower right : turn for after effects volume (via the windows mixer) clic for mute/unmute active tab in firefox

- center red button, launch VPN (might change that one )

Osu mode is now implemented! It’s way too fun to mess with this stuff, really, I’ve enjoyed it more than I’d thought. In any case, that’s probably the last module before I hop back in developing Palm stuff in my spare time :p

A DIY macropad with grey buttons, a screen and a rotary encoder. The screen shows “Osu!” in the top, as well three icons for esc, chat and restart. Below the icons there are three big letters, Z,X,Z which are the main keys to play Osu

Today’s update on #TaviscoMacropad:
Git added!

Mental note: I should really add a wire and connect it to the UART TX to debug it better.

And that the @frameworkcomputer "keyboards" aren't in the QMK mainline makes that process unnecessary painful and bad documented :izzysadness:
At least I got now a layout compiling, but not sure if I want to dare to try to change it today.

Alright. The update eh....

Hehehe. So slowly it's going together. As a creative there's always tinkering however I must keep in mind this is version one. 😅.

Hehehe..... yes!!!!
KiCad is truly a great tool to use once you learn it. Macropad.... you are being built. FINALLY!!!

I’ve had an Adafruit Macropad for a little over 3 years, and while I was working from home at the start of that period it was permanently on, connected to my MacBook Pro on my desktop, with a variety of shortcuts configured for driving different apps that I used day-to-day. My configuration is on GitHub.

More recently, I have not been using it nearly as much.

Last weekend for our Makeroni meetup, I pulled it out of my kit bag and started to tinker some more. I have a variety of additional Qwiic / StemmaQT controls and sensors that I wanted to play with, so I updated to the most recent stable build of CircuitPython and started to have a look at them.

I also noticed that it is a nice size to act as a companion device to the MNT Pocket Reform…

I noticed a problem – there was some burn-in on the OLED display where it had been mostly always-on in the past (lesson learned, to manage the screen output more carefully!) – but fortunately, Adafruit have done a lovely job of making that easy to replace. I also think it might be nice to have that screen wedged up at a slight angle to aid readability.

I have a notion that I can 3D print a case to more-or-less match the look of my Hyper Purple laptop. I don’t have an identical colour of filament, but I do have a range of options. I also ordered a bunch of different knobs for the potentiometer, and some alternate keycaps, so that I can make the look a bit more consistent as well.

I don’t have a final case design yet (and I need to spend some time properly learning FreeCAD and/or Fusion360, really), and I also haven’t finished modifying the macros code to match what I’m using on Debian on the Pocket Reform, but this is just some work-in-progress.

Replacing a burnt-in OLED display, and adding some tilt. #maker #pocketreform #adafruit #macropad

A small OLED display on a macropad. The display is on and shows rows of text laid out to match the patten of the keys. Text at the top shows the word "Browser", with the word "...Sleep..." ghosting behind it.The rear of a macropad, showing a ribbon tape curling in to a connector.The front of the macropad, showing a new OLED screen with a protective film over the top and a blue tab for removing it. It has been positioned where the previous screen was, but on top of a small 3D printed wedge that tilts it forwards by 30 degrees towards the keys.

This post from @paul got me thinking about macro pads again…

These two options from Megalodon look amazing

Made a couple edits to the #Adafruit #MacroPad awesome-list this morning. Have a MacroPad or know someone that does? Check it out for some inspiration and give it a star.
