Yes it's possible, the sample code I used for the scene changer also had a basic media player which demonstrated a basic volume control. Should not be hard to change the code to do what you want. I would go to Adafruit guides page and look at the macro pad samples.

@@ElectronicEnigmaZone I think in the media player macro uses a hotkey for vol up and down but I would prefer to use the encoder for volume control.

I agree, it looks super complex.

Ok, let's start at VSC setup because if you are not getting settings.json correctly should check if the basics of VSC are working. first, make sure this is the minimum ext installed into VSC 1.63.2 C/C++ IntelliSense (Microsoft) MagicPython (MagicStick) Pylance (Microsoft) Python (Microsoft) Visual Studio IntelliCode (Microsoft) *Optional C/C++ Extension Pack (Microsoft) Needed later for ESP-IDF Create a test folder and in it create a test 'c' program such as hello.c with a classic hello world program If you compile the hello.c and are able to run it then VSC is ready for adding CircuitPython Next, add the ext CircuitPython v0.1.15 by joedevivo ( I will refer to it as CP) restart VSC (important if you add ext and VSC misbehaves) Now we need a Microcontroller, this must have the CP set up with CP 7.1.0 firmware. You can use anything that does CP, you had a macro pad for the test I will use a Feather M4 Express. Plug it in and a folder CIRCUITPY should show up. Make sure it's mounted (I am in Linux so I just click on the folder in file manager) It will have some basic files and two folders in it. boot_out.txt (version of CP installed) code.py (first code file) .fseventsd ( think the is mac related) lib (CP Libs) .metadata_never_index (stops mac indexing) When you open the folder for the first time .vscode directory is created and with it a settings.json file and because it saw a code.py file it will add some lines to the file. You should see two sections, one dealing with pylance and the second dealing with the CP Ext. bottom right in VSC select board Another line is added to the settings file under the CP Ext. At this point, I would save a workspace file. doing so adds some more lines to the settings file Also, make sure pip is up to date and install circup to handle lib installs to the lib directory in CIRCUITPY pip install --upgrade pip pip install circup & do a pip install --upgrade circup if you see any warnings about being unable to get the CP bundle At this point, you should see no red squiggles in the code.py and everything should be ready. I would show screenshots but youtube is a bit restrictive on what I can paste... Also always remember to close the workspace and cleanly dismount the CIRCUITPY folder if you don't want a corrupted filesystem on the microcontroller.

@@ElectronicEnigmaZone Thanks. I’m missing several dependencies there.

@@ElectronicEnigmaZone Took a bit because my system needed a full reset after a brief power outage, but got it all working now. Thanks!

That depends, I am using the pad to activate mapped keys to scenes at the moment. If a macro can be tied to a hotkey then yes should be easy to do.

Sure this comes from AdaFruit www.adafruit.com/product/5128
