An Elgato Stream Deck is a vital tool for anyone looking to live-stream online, but the ongoing pandemic has made these devices hard to find or very expensive! To solve this problem, I built a DIY version using Arduino, 3D printing, and some custom PCBs, which you can also build yourself! All of the design files are free and open source so that you can create the Stream Deck that best suits your needs!

The kit's PCBs don't have the black solder mask *or* ENIG and some of the acrylic squares are cut super-sloppy like whoever put these in here didn't give a fff about quality control. Definitely wish I saved my money and built it piece-by-piece.
@SuperMakeSomething

@@aleph_prime Sorry to hear that your experience with the kit was not good. The decision to use an ENIG finish was to try to keep the cost as low as possible, though I think that it should be possible to manufacture the next batch with a black soldermask and white text without much of a price increase. Please get in contact with Alien3D to see if they can at least hook you up with some more acrylic squares. Cheers!

its because streamdeck isnt just streamdeck its the plugins and support that goes along with it this is a super cool and very well made item dont get me wrong but this is one of dozens of similar projects each acomplishing the task in a different way as such support for the plugins and applications is limited and fractured across multiple projects and the community isn't there to support it a slightly different project is using phones and tablets as streamdecks to which touchportal and deckboard pro comes to mind deckboard has a fair bit of support but its all from 1 dev who has very little time meanwhile touchportal has a massive massive community behind it who have made plugins to support almost everything you can think of and if its not supported someones problem making a product as we speak to support it as such its popularity grows and its community support also grows its now at the point where touchportal outperforms streamdeck itself in terms of software and device support what this guy has made though is still super cool and I love it but if these devices are ever to take off in a big way someone needs to create a firmware base that can be used on all theese DIY devices along with a software driver set that allows anyone who makes one of theese to share compatibility and software support under one platform

Funny thing is, many of us are aware of open source solutions to turn our old phone or tablet into an ultimate stream deck that supports more things like swipes and gestures, even acting as a second screen when desired, but for some reason there's an appeal to having simple, pretty buttons to press... click click!

The Freedeck project does the same with 2 multiplexer IC-s (very cheap) so you don't need the second arduino... worth visiting the idea. Also you can scale the design then with more buttons without needing even more arduinos... I like your button design way better than pressing on the screen itself.
@SuperMakeSomething
@SuperMakeSomething 3 роки тому
Multiplexers are definitely a great idea! Unfortunately the Pro Micro did not even have enough pins to interface with the LCD screen/SD card reader (let alone have a few spare IOs for buttons/a multiplexer), so I think a great remix of the project would be to use something like an STM32 Blue Pill or RPi Pico in conjunction with mulitplexers to greatly expand the number of usable buttons.

Or use a touch screen (with an optional physical button mask in front) + some software to convert it to your control inputs. You might also introduce touch sliders with absolute or relative position outputs.
@SuperMakeSomething
@SuperMakeSomething 3 роки тому
The slider idea is really cool! I decided to not use a touchscreen because I wasn’t sure how long this would last in this application, since it would be touched continuously and the “touch” element is only a thin film of plastic. Definitely an alternative idea though if you don’t want to go with the second PCB and physical buttons!

@@SuperMakeSomething I was thinking about a touch screen to be touched with a finger - but with an optional grid like yours in front of it. The grid should not touch the screen. The user might rest a finger on the grid snd touch the screen behind it with his finger - or use it without that grid. The screen position should be converted to a button or a macro. So there is much less hardware, it's more or less just the screen and some sort of microcontroller, maybe if necessary a raspi. But it's just an idea right now. It might have disadvantages and so on.
@SuperMakeSomething

Thanks! Yup that’s right - it would require a change in the code. Take a look at how “Button 3” is coded, which is what changes the page currently. You would just need to reassign the button names or PIN number at the top of the script to make this change.

So, I was thinking that a much simpler device could be done just using an old monitor, overlay a 3d printed cover with the proper cutouts for the placements of images from underlaying LCD screen, and be able to use ANY controls, combination. Rotary encoders, switches, buttons, doesn't matter. I am way too overloaded to take this one on, but OMG, this would be a game changer for so many things! Stream Deck is really a simple pcs of hardware. It's the software that seems more complex. (and the impossible part of the project). I think the hardware would be nothing more than a monitor, a sheet of black plastic with holes drilled into it, and a USB - Encoder, or Adruino board. Someone MUST give this a shot! LOL.

Here is an idea for you, replace the normal screen with a touch screen. This will save you inputs, and probably one arduino, since all buttons have a set location, you can just program the said locations on the code it self, and just reuse that portion of the code every time you need to check for a press. Thats what streamdeck does, they just have a layer with "bubbles" over the screen that presses on the touchscreen.
@SuperMakeSomething
@SuperMakeSomething 2 роки тому
I initially thought about using a touchscreen, but decided to go for physical buttons because they would allow streamers to “feel” which button they were going to press without having to look and because I did not know how long budget TFTs would survive repeated presses. Official StreamDecks actually use a clear “plastic sheet” circuit underneath a rubber membrane (similar to those found in keyboards), but I could not use these for this build because they would have driven the price of the build through the roof. Definitely agree that a touchscreen would cut down on the hardware complexity. Would be cool to only need one Arduino! Thinking about doing a v2 with a different microcontroller!

Hello, i really like your project. Indeed, i like your approach to the screens a lot, the one color screen is much simpler than one oled monochrome screen per button. About the microcontroller, either an ESP32-S2 or C3, they support usb host, or an raspberry pi pico, also supports usb host. With the ESPs of course, you add wireless, so the ability to update the firmware without pluging it, and with some code, changing the icons, creating new pages, etc, via a web interface. The way i will tackle this will be to use a raspberry pi zero W, so i'll have wireless, HDMI for the screen, and the possibility to easily change code, pictures, assigned keys for each layer, etc... (i already have a bunch of unused raspberry pi zeros)

A less notch-y knob you could spin for a jog function for editing would be great. You should sell a kit. Gather all the parts, mark it up and make a little money for the effort. I'd buy one!

Would this work with the Pi Pico as the controller? Also can you make multiple profiles? Or trigger a specific loop to call out different keys, for different programs?
@SuperMakeSomething
@SuperMakeSomething 3 роки тому
The Pico is definitely something I want to try! Unfortunately I have not been able to get one yet. The profile idea is interesting! The closest to this in the current design is to have different keyboard combos assigned to the different “pages,” otherwise you would need an external application. That is essentially how Elgato’s app works - it assigns different button pages with each profile and switching profiles is roughly equivalent to reprogramming the Arduino in this build with different keyboard commands.

Good call! Showing the button press would have been useful to put into the video. Since these use PCB push-buttons, the feel is definitely a bit more “clicky” than on an official Stream Deck which uses a rubber sheet behind each of the buttons.

arduino MEGA boards, and derivatives are programmed the exact same way, and the clockspeed issue is a code optimization thing, even if it may not be nearly that easy to do, look at 3D printers, they do MANY things a lot faster than you would realize, they will print, read files, and be able to generate a display at the same time, all on the MEGA 2560 (2650?) think of it this way... if its looking for buttons for 50% of the clock cycles, its effective speed is 8MHz instead of 16MHz, because every other cycle is spent simply looking for those buttons, its all about thresholds. someone is usually going to press a button for a minimum intended time of about 1/16th of that time, eating up less clock cycles, as its doing other things at the same time, but since it does things in a linear fashion, its all about optimization and finding ways to do multiple things at once. you shouldnt be spending time either A. generating the screen when buttons are more important or B. looking at the buttons if the user needs to see what buttons he/she CAN press to progress first, meaning less things to do, less clock time. then theres the fact of just using faster code, even if it seems a bit arbitrary at first. maybe using some sort of special file format that makes it easier for the arduino to parse and process as it doesnt need to look at a particular file type or maybe removing compression?
@SuperMakeSomething
@SuperMakeSomething 3 роки тому
I agree that code optimization could definitely help. The big issue is that the icons are bitmap images, so every color channel of every pixel needs to be updated with a redraw. “Faster” redraws with this library are usually done by drawing primitives like rectangles and other shapes with functions in the code, which do not update every pixel. The other microcontroller I mentioned has a faster clock speed, so unoptimized libraries for a screen size like this are less of an issue. If the community would be interested in optimizing the library further so that it could be folded into the master branch that would be awesome! All of the code for this project is currently on GitHub!

An Arduino DUE would probably be a better choice for fixing the clock speed issues and IO problems - as it would be a single micro controller option for the lot then instead of needing 2 boards, but trade off is size and cost.

I’ve never used a Due, but I will definitely take a look! Simplifying everything down to one board would be great for reducing the height of the Stream Deck!
