Enjoyed talking with @prcutler on this ep! Learn how I planned to get the drop on Happy Meal toys, the Isle of Misfit Boards, rising to the top of the charts with a four chord song, what would happen if Freud played Shadowrun, and the Macropad Hotkeys II.
DIY Macropad Rocks a Haptic Feedback Wheel

However, you can go a lot further, too. [CNCDan] demonstrates this well <a href="https://github.com/dmcke5/Hapticpad" target="_blank">with his sleek macropad build</a>, which throws haptic feedback into the mix.</p>
<p>The build features six programmable macro buttons, which are situated either on side of a 128×64 OLED display. This setup allows the OLED screen to show icons that explain the functionality of each button. There’s also a nice large rotary knob, surrounded by 20 addressable WS2811 LEDs for visual feedback. Underneath the knob lives an an encoder, as well as a brushless motor typically used in gimbal builds, which is driven by a TMC6300 motor driver board. Everything is laced up to a Waveshare RP2040 Plus devboard which runs the show. It’s responsible for controlling the motors, reading the knob and switches, and speaking USB to the PC that it’s plugged into.</p>
<p>It’s a compact device that nonetheless should prove to be a good productivity booster on the bench. We’ve featured [CNCDan’s] work before, too, <a href="https://hackaday.com/2](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/116/021/341/685/784/402/original/55406458845b5c59.png)

Updated the awesome-list for the #Adafruit #MacroPad this morning (just in case you may have got one for Christmas!) Especially check out the MacroPad Hotkeys II project by DeckerEgo, it's my new favorite: https://github.com/prcutler/awesome-macropad
New Macropad Hotkeys II release is out! If you need a configurable macropad for DaVinci Resolve, Audacity, Zoom, BG3, whatevs - this release should be what you need. Configure multiple pages of hotkey macros to scroll through, with starter configs in the wiki:

Built for the @adafruit Macropad!
Tomorrow will be the day the heat up the soldering iron to try out the new shell I’ve designed!

V2 of this Macropad is finally here!
Sometimes the challenge after making V1 of something is working out how to fix the little issues on a pre-established base. It can be tough to feel like iterations aren't making meaningful improvements.
Working on the Side Order stamp rally gave me the motivation to return to this project - and I’m so glad I did because I’m thrilled with this result!

A new 3D model, “Keyboard Macropad Tilting Stand”, was just published!

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
I'm enjoying coding this way too much lol And sound warning, I guess #TaviscoMacropad #Macropad #RP2040
