Oh wow how did i miss this video by Angus? I was going to make myself a programmable numpad that i can set beside a tenkeyless keyboard to the right and to the left, and give it a nice encoder knob which could serve for volume, plus mode buttons for overlay modes, so i could switch different control modes, maybe the knob can pull double and triple duty as something else too, like second scroll wheel or video scrubbing or MIDI device. Thinking of making it wireless. I don't see much reason to use USB specific Arduino chip for HID emulation and MIDI emulation, at least in a device used personally, i tested HID emulation on Digispark ATTiny85 with V-USB and i didn't face issues. I can have computer side an ATTiny driving an nRF24L01, a single one for a bunch of input devices i might yet make, and a network of nRF24L01 devices with ATMegas or even STM8. Didn't get around to though. Of course ATTiny is only available in short bursts while USB protocol is suspended, but nRF has ample FIFOs so it's not a big deal.
@miniman31125 років тому
Nice work, really interested in these sort of projects! I just got done assembling a custom keyboard with a 3D printed case and configuring it with the QMK firmware. I've started playing around with 3D printing my own keycaps, but I can't get the stems to behave like I want them to yet; they either aren't sturdy enough or don't fit into the space around the stem without lots of manual filing (using Kailh Box switches). I'll see if I can adapt this reduced stem design that you used for the buttons, so thanks for that idea if I get it to work!
@ConstantijnC5 років тому
You have to be aware of your wall thickness when designing for 3D printing. Make thin walls the thickness of your nozzle diameter or a multiple of that. With a 0.4mm nozzle, that means 0.4, 0.8 or 1.2mm wall thickness. With anything thicker than that is not as important to follow this rule. That's why I didn't fully build around the stems. Of course you also have to make sure that your printer is not overextruding and that you have your tolerances right. I find a 0.1mm tolerance on both sides of the fit to be perfect for a sturdy press fit. Then, if it turns out too loose or too tight, you can adjust your extrusion multiplier slightly (+/-1%) to make it fit perfectly.
@miniman31125 років тому
@@ConstantijnC Thanks for your help, adjusting the extrusion multiplier instead of changing the model geometry each time sounds like a great idea!

@UpcycleElectronics5 років тому
Cool videography. That code looks very useful too. Why do you use delay instead of a millis flag routine and potentially multiple key press situations? I have an old USB auxiliary keyboard that doesn't work. I think I can make it work with this code. I've been meaning to figure out macros and a way to speed up editing my final transparency negatives for PCB etching in GIMP. This looks like just the info I needed. Thanks! -Jake
@ConstantijnC5 років тому
Thanks man! I used the normal delay because I wanted to keep this code as beginner-friendly as possible. Since basically all stock Arduino examples use the delay routine, I went with that one as well, just to match the programming style as best I could to those examples. It’s the same reason why I decided not to multiplex the buttons, although that would have been the neater way to do it. I‘ve never really used an external hotkey keyboard before but I think it’s a really convenient tool. I think that this will especially be useful for CAD and video editing for me in the future :)

@lynxpilot8933 роки тому
I am trying to add a rotary encoder instead of the push button middle top row. Any help with integrating the code into this sketch would be appreciated. Thanks for the project.
@ConstantijnC3 роки тому
I think easiest would be to copy this encoder library: github.com/PaulStoffregen/Encoder/releases/tag/1.4.1 into your arduino library folder (usually located in your documents folder) and include it with: #include Encoder Enc_0(2, 3); long oldPosition = -999; and this in the loop(): long newPosition = Enc_0.read(); if (newPosition > oldPosition) { //your keyboard command here oldPosition = newPosition; } else if (newPosition < oldPosition) { //your keyboard command here oldPosition = newPosition; } Pins 2 & 3 are interrupt capable pins so it might be beneficial to use those for the encoder. That might make it feel a bit more responsive. But I don''t have an encoder handy so I can't test it. I also haven't tested this code but I'm pretty sure that something like this should work. There are also plenty of other encoder libraries out there which offer things like acceleration control. You could also just program acceleration control yourself, which should be a nice exercise :)

What's the point of using buttons for windows shortcut keys? copy (ctrl-c), paste (shift-insert or ctrl-v) , Shift-F11 , Shift-F12, task manager (CRTL-Shift-Esc), etc. It's usefull though such a devce, but for application specific shortcuts. I built mine (thing 1043977 on thingiverse) mainly for sketchup. Learn Windows shortcuts and benefit from that on every machine, don't waste buttons on that :-)

I'm just using those shortcuts as an example to show how easy it is to implement and automate basically anything you want. On top of that, some people just like to make stuff. Some coding, some cad design, printing and working with electronics might just be enough for people like me to start a project like this one ;)

Hey, my first guess is that you need some sort of delay between sending shift and the letter. Maybe those two get sent so fast in succession that OBS doesn't recognise it

@ConstantijnC4 роки тому
Hey, the connections are already all layed out within the code itself :) Button_0 connects between Arduino pin 2 and ground Button_1 connects between Arduino pin 3 and ground Button_2 connects between Arduino pin 4 and ground Button_3 connects between Arduino pin 5 and ground Button_4 connects between Arduino pin 6 and ground Button_5 connects between Arduino pin 7 and ground Button_6 connects between Arduino pin 8 and ground Button_7 connects between Arduino pin 9 and ground Button_8 connects between Arduino pin 10 and ground If you want to use different pins, you can just redefine them in the code. The line "pinmode(Buttons[i], INPUT_PULLUP);" determines that the connection is indeed to ground and not to 5V. That's all there is to it. The resistors which you can see me add in the video are just for the LEDs, because they would quickly burn up without those. Good luck!

Hi, ich habe versucht das Keyboard nachzubauen. Ich habe das gleiche Board verwendet (Arduino Pro Micro), den gleichen Code, etc... Ich habe nur dummerweise das Problem, dass mein 10.er Pin durchgängig LOW zurückmeldet und nicht nur wenn ich den Taster drücke. Nach verschieden Tests habe ich das Gefühl, dass dieser Pin keinen PULL-UP Widerstand besitzt. Ich habe es nachdem es mit 10 nicht funktioniert hat auch noch mit 0, 1, 16, 14, 15 und A0 versucht. Überall das gleiche Problem. Das heißt meine ersten 8 Hotkeys funktionieren aber der neunte (Pin 10) nicht. Ich habe es auch mit mehreren Boards versucht, hilft auch nichts. Hat jemand eine Idee?
@ConstantijnC3 роки тому
Hey, das ist mir bisher noch nicht aufgefallen, aber ich habe leider gerade auch nicht die Möglichkeit um das selbst zu testen. Ich meine aber, dass alle Pins einen int. Pullup haben.
