Man, ultra cool project! Just order the parts and I'll try to do it as a first arduino project. Kudos from Brazil, my man! Also, lots of pets on my behalf for the helper.
That's so cool… I'm a person with a disability and having everything all together one place would be awesome… would be also cool to have a virtual keypad that I could assign things to
Thank you so much for the guide. I do mentoring with a group of kids and this seems like a good cheap introduction to soldering, patience, flashing, 3d printing, while also getting them into the keyboard gremlin scene.
janjetina 4500!!!!!!! This was such a good tutorial! No information overload, nice music and editing, and excellent voice-over to go with it. You got a new subscriber! :)
Very cool, i'm thinking on making one of these, but instead of opening n calculators, would be nice to open and close the calculator with the same key, how hard can it be? (Actual question)
Hello! This is an amazing video and I should know, I just spent 10 hours trying to find a way how to actually program my custom 3x2 macropad. However, when I try compiling, I get the following error: #error (".h is required unless your keyboard uses data-driven configuration. Please rename your keyboard's header file to .h") Any help at all would be so appreciated. Otherwise liked and subscribed! :)
This video helped me to throw together a macropad. Excellent tutorial. When I try to build a full keyboard, however, windows keeps giving me a "USB device not recognized error". Any ideas? I'm using a different micro controller, but it's still an Atmega32U4. Does it matter if the board runs on 3v instead of 5?
it should be a hardware issue. maybe the board you're using is dead or something else is wrong with it. Try to swap it with another Arduino pro micro or similar and it should work
@@Djambo57 The board is an adafruit itsy bitsy. As far as I can tell the board isn't dead, as it does power on when plugged in. I'd use a promicro, but it's short by two pins. Are itsy bitsy's not suited for keyboards?
The microswitch for the reset you linked has 3pins but in the video it has 2pins. The 3pin variant has C, NO, & NC. Which one should wire to Ground & Reset? Thanks
amazing video my macropad is working but the micros aren't working as the code register keyboard as German layout and a lot of keys like y and z are mix and / and & are switch i can't find the alternative method if cane can help me?
Hey, I had the same problem since my keyboard layout is Croatian. Y and Z are also mixed and I got it solved by including croatian layout in the keymap file... I don't remember how exactly but it should be shown somewhere in the video
@@Djambo57 Thank you so much it was beecause of 2 header files of croatian ( #include "keymap_croatian.h" #include "sendstring_croatian.h") without them its working fine
@@Schjoenz nano doesnt supoort HID meaning it cant be used as a keyboard over usb... The microcontroller is different, the nano usually has a AtMega328p while the pro micro has a AtMega32u4 which can be used in such cases
4:48 in some other videos and guides, people use a wire for the row connections instead of the diodes themselves. is there any reason to do one method over the other?
@@Djambo57 Thank you! I ended up using the diodes and it went smoothly, I'm connecting it to the micro controller now and this has been a great first project for me and I am learning a lot. I really appreciate this guide, the 3d files etc.!! Last question, I'm not the best at reading the schematic and with circuits so I'm a bit confused on 5:20 how to wire the reset switch. The switch I have has 3 pins "C", "NO", and "NC". I can't really tell from the video what the GND and RST pins are connected to or if both are wired to one pin?

The first understandable tutorial for me how to make firmware, ty
Love your little helper.
im 3 mins into the video, just noticed the powerwashing clip on the topleft 🤣
Bro... Thank you so much you are so understandable I have been watching videos for hours and I finally now understood with your video
Awesome, I'm glad the video helped 🙂

My man! It works and it's beautifull!!!!!
Already planning on all the macros i'll do! You rocks!
you can add little bumps with notches to friction fit the arduino inside instead of super gluing it, will be less permanent and more elegant

Great vid, for me really down the rabbit hole! How does the row/columns work in reciving signals. Dont fully understand what is happening there!
Is it possible to combine several buttons pushes at the same time? I mean simultaneously. If no is there a way to do it? Thanks
There are more complex things like layers but I'm not sure if there's a way to detect multiple button presses.
Hi, did you make any changes to the visual studio settings? I get a "compiler optimizations disabled" error when compiling.
Adding the powerwashing clip to keep people watching the video was genius.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
That's really cool, ty

Connect them to C and NO
@@Djambo57 thanks!
Thankk you soo so much
Thank you for watching! :)
There is a calc button built into the QMK keycode set. You don't need a macro for it.
Thanks for mentioning that, I'll definitely use the button then to save some time.
Great video. I have considered building one of these many time. I also use a mouse with the macro buttons on the thumb cluster, its great.
Thanks! The mouse is great 😁

Could this work with the Arduino Nano V3.0 Atmega328 ??
nop, not usb ready chip
Atmega328p doesnt have the required hardware... You need the pro micro board
Good tutorial. Will order the parts to make one :)
janjetina 4500!!!!!!!
a little late but you never know! :)
came for the macro pad stayed for the cat o7
If I wanted to make a 5 by 5 Macro pad would I connect my Extra pin to Arduino D16?
You can use any free GPIO pin you want. Just make sure to declare it by the AVR name and not Arduino
I don't see anyone building it using ARDUINO NANO, not the Pro Micro.. Why? What's the disadvantage of Nano on that project?
@@Schjoenz nano doesnt supoort HID meaning it cant be used as a keyboard over usb... The microcontroller is different, the nano usually has a AtMega328p while the pro micro has a AtMega32u4 which can be used in such cases

Do whatever is easier for you. If everything is connected like on the schematic it will work :)

Wouldn’t it be better to install VIA/VIAL support? I know Jan Lunge did it, and was wondering if there are any downsides to adding that support.
i want 2 6x6 macroboards
Wtf only 15k viees that was perfect. And I actually have everything I need for this except screws and diodes!
At 4:55 what was the wire name and also tell me if I can use normal wire instead of the wire u used at 4:55
It’s a normal wire, he just cut it like that
I know but the wire is like there’s soldering iron wire inside

Samo gledam video i jednom trenutku štekate arduino i piše janjetina 4500
Hahahahahahaha
Cool but you could also free software autohotkey with any keyboard (including your own) by assign macros to hotkeys. Dont need any of that
Wow Great tutorial!
Thank you!! :)
Do you experience ghosting with this kind of setup?

how ken i turn of the led from the arduino pro micro
You will have to desolder it since they are connected to power phisically, there is no switch to turn them off

Johnson Deborah Lewis Scott Hernandez Sharon
I agree
why dont you just use arduino ide?
Because Arduino IDE uses a bootloader to upload your code, in this case, we are flashing a .hex file directly to the microcontroller
