In this video, I'll show you how I built my wooden keyboard/keypad/macro pad. It is an open-source project, so you can download and edit whatever you want.
The video was created with the cooperation of:
JLCPCB ($2 for 1-4 layer PCBs; PCB assembly from $0): jlcpcb.com/SMA
LaserPacker: www.laserpecker.net/collectio...
Project details: smartsolutions4home.com/ss4h-...

Keep it up, I'll be using this project as a basic guideline for my own Ideas, Which often are above my Pay grade. Nice to have these cutting edge tools too.

Great project !!! I was looking for options for a macropad and "found" your channel... Untill now, by far, it's the best option out there. Any specific reason for choosing STM32 as the heart of the unit ?? I was more declined to use pi pico, since I can use micropython for programming...

hey, thank you very much for this very clever solution. I only recently discovered video editing for myself and of course I also wanted to buy the speededitor, but it's too expensive and I don't know what to do with the multicam buttons. So thanks again for your work.

I'm glad you like my video! If you are just starting your adventure with video editing, you don't need to invest in additional hardware. Learn the keyboard shortcuts well instead. After a while you'll decide for yourself whether you need extra keyboard to help.

Classic or modern ? I like both of them but it seems the buttons on the classic one are a bit too much "floating" for my liking. Too much space between them or a bit out of line? I'm not sure, maybe it is just that the plastic of the keys shows a bit too much - something that would be easy to fix though. I started a similar project a few years ago with one of those (optical) CNC jog wheels. At first I did not like the clicky feeling of the detents but when I swapped this for one with a smooth wheel, I immediately loved the clicky style. It gives me a much better control when scrolling frame by frame so this is my personal preference.

awesome keyboard. Was about to design my own but might just use this one ;) One thing I would do differently is the firmware. If you use QMK and ad VIA support you can easily remap the buttons with a nice gui software (VIA) but that's personal preference. Great project and video 👍

how did you program the jog/shuttle/scroll to work with wheel? i cant find the shortcut in dvr! great work btw, i cant possibly make this on my own 😂
@SmartSolutionsForHome
@SmartSolutionsForHome 3 місяці тому
My Knob isn't quite working like in the original Speed Editor. In JOG mode, it acts as the RIGHT/LEFT Arrow (1 frame), and in SCRL mode, it's Shift + RIGHT/LEFT Arrow (1 second). The SHTL mode is a bit more complicated. Here, I had to create a separate function that monitors the current acceleration level and responds to the next "tick" accordingly. You can find the entire code on my GitHub: github.com/sokolsok/SS4H-Video-Editing-Keyboard P.S. Thanks for the comment :)
