Transform an old broken Keyboard to a Macro Keyboard
Рет қаралды 57,388
2 жыл бұрынWatch the new version on my channel
This is version one of the Raspberry Pi Pico Macro Keyboard Project using the Adafruit HID library.
I have collected a few broken keyboards over the past few months and without trying to fix them, I thought it might be better to give them a new life.
In this project video I will show you how to turn your Raspberry Pi Pico into a Macro Keyboard. All the resources are available (code and Gerber files) if you want to order your own PCB.
I hope you find this videos helpful and I if you learned something from it, consider subscribing to my channel.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you, i got this running in half an hour. Only problem i had was downloading the circuit python file as a "Save as" from Chrome under Windows10 and it wasen't installing. I had to download your repo and drag and drop the file which installs it instantly for the CIRCUITPY to come up. I then plugged it into my Ubuntu laptop and the macros are working there too as a plug and play, amazing!

Thanks for posting this. I have an Razer Tartarus Pro that I want to convert to a programmable macropad with non-volatile memory for use with a Pop_!OS linux desktop. I currently use Genovation Controlpads and love them but the hope was that if I convert the Tartarus Pro to a macropad I would be able to execute the macros while keeping my eyes on the screen if I could memorize where the keys are. I leaning toward QMK because it is open source and seems to be widely adopted but something like your solution would work weel also. Thank you for posting all of the details. Please post more videos like this.

I want to look at QMK as well, I don't know so much about the different firmware available, I think it will probably be easier or more functionality, but I don't see a lot of written tutorials or content on it, so might have to figure it out and make a video on what I have learned.

It would be possible to create a program for it to easily adjust each key but my programming skills is not there yet, I am receiving a new PCB hopefully today an updated version of the macrokeyboard, for this one I added a button to swap through different programs so that I can have macro's for my most used programs. I am thinking about making a course on it since it can then be a long format video that will explain in depth how it works, from PCB design all the way to final product if there are people interested in it.

You will write a message like you said to show on screen for x amount of time and then clear, for version two of this board I am planning to show it for that lcd and the OLED I2C display.

I was thinking of using an old keyboard to take advantage of its keys by connecting it to an Arduino or Raspiberry pi, and converting the keyboard's key information into customizable buttons, to avoid incompatibility with the standard buttons on my keyboard. In that case the keyboard would be recognized as an input device, like a joystick, with 104 keys. Would it be possible to do this?
@NerdCaveYT Жыл бұрын
Just to have a bit more context do you want to take an old keyboard and open it to find the matrix key presses so that you can use it as input, or do you want to plug the keyboard USB into the raspberry Pi and then change the input of the old keyboard to send different programmed key presses to your pc.

@@hopcfizl3671 the pull-up will not help with the debouncing of someone that press button to long, but will help with noise accidentally trigger the button. For example the pins is kept at 3.3V and connected to the pico it is 0V once it detect a voltage higher then 2.3-2.5V range it will be a high or 1 and the code will execute. So if you were to touch the button pin which is connected to pico you might be able to trigger it without pressing but since it is in a case very unlikely.
