Im making a stream deck esq thingy using a Raspberry Pi Pico, Micro-python, and shortcut automation to create a macropad for my mac mini and live event productions (theatre shows and concerts. that kinda stuff) using CircuitPython
Since this project requires the purchase of physical hardware i've built the project in a website to mimic the functionality of the device and allow for testing
AI used for some minor code formatting and debugging the website as HTML + CSS is new to me,

Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
It works!! video attached of device functioning
Ive put shortcuts key inputs into the code and coded the key matrix for the commands to be held in. working on the colour assignment and toggles for the key stroke inputs on the pad
Ive set up the shortcuts and Im now working on implementing them into the code. still working on the customisation of key colours
Ive gotten the pages implemented and now moving onto the hotkeys, Im going to use keyboard shortcuts to trigger automations on the target computer. each key will have a shortcut key stroke input assigned dependent on the page
I've made the pad respond to inputs and made a pretty wave animation with the onboard LED's. time for gives as i have no tangible thing to put as the image
Ive created the website demo created for project concept and deployed using a workflow to a github page. Onto coding the actual device now
MacroPad for live event productions as a vision mixer / Audio engineer. will allow me to do my voluntary work better and can be customised for home use. cheeper alternative to Steamdeck
