Two videos in one day, what a treat 🎉

[@NerdCaveYT]

lol, I wanted to see what can I do in two hours, which one hour was spend fixing the website so video was much shorter

@@NerdCaveYT makes sense, but well done :)

Short but informative. I like !!

[@NerdCaveYT]

Awesome, thank you!

[@glowytheglowbug]

nice! made my own afkbot out of a pico too, I use it for, as the name implies afk, but I setup some keybinds and a voice chat toggle button :D

[@NerdCaveYT]

Sounds great! I was thinking of using this in circuitpython so that I can also add some keyword macros to also control things on my computer except the lights etc. in my room

[@glowytheglowbug]

@@NerdCaveYT yep its awesome for stufflike that, i mainly use my macros for coding or typing out a long sentence with a click also used to control my music playback etc...

I should have made this a long time ago, lot of people asked

Simple and intuitive, amazing video, can i ask howto get the switch on the joystick as left mouse click?

[@NerdCaveYT]

Thank you in this demo the click is already left mouse click:
select = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.GP16)
select.direction = digitalio.Direction.INPUT
select.pull = digitalio.Pull.UP
if not select.value:
mouse.click(Mouse.LEFT_BUTTON)
time.sleep(0.2) # Debounce delay
the select here is the switch

Hello, I got an error saying;
ValueError: incompatible .mpy file
Can you help me out please

[@NerdCaveYT]

hmm I think it could be a version issue what version of circuitpython are you running?

@@NerdCaveYT are the mpy files supposed to be empty?
