  1. I've got this real annoyance with my #rp2040 based #QMK #Keyboard. It wont power up with the laptop. Every time I boot the laptop I have to replug the keyboard in for it to work.

    Any ideas?

  2. Погружение в создание приставки для Microsoft MakeCode Arcade

    В прошлой статье я рассказывал, как делал Arduboy WOW с применением модулей, но помимо Arduboy мне еще почти также сильно интересовала платформа Microsoft MakeCode Arcade и мне захотелось повторить тоже самое, но с ней. Правда пока я решил ограничиться созданием устройства на макетной плате, чтобы подробнее изучить эту платформу и не отвлекаться на остальное. (Или в будущем сделаю на этой базе полноценную приставку и напишу еще одну статью.) MakeCode Arcade очень сильно отличается от Arduboy, но в то же время они в сущности обо одном. В двух словах, MakeCode Arcade это не одна приставка, а несколько десятков приставок, игры для которых пишутся в своем редакторе, в браузере. В этой статье я постараюсь рассказать как эта система работает изнутри или как у них получилось сделать столь заманчивую идею реальностью на примере моего устройства на макетной плате, которое я назвал MakeCode Arcade Beast.

  3. I’ve had an Adafruit Macropad for a little over 3 years, and while I was working from home at the start of that period it was permanently on, connected to my MacBook Pro on my desktop, with a variety of shortcuts configured for driving different apps that I used day-to-day. My configuration is on GitHub.

    More recently, I have not been using it nearly as much.

    Last weekend for our Makeroni meetup, I pulled it out of my kit bag and started to tinker some more. I have a variety of additional Qwiic / StemmaQT controls and sensors that I wanted to play with, so I updated to the most recent stable build of CircuitPython and started to have a look at them.

    I also noticed that it is a nice size to act as a companion device to the MNT Pocket Reform…

    I noticed a problem – there was some burn-in on the OLED display where it had been mostly always-on in the past (lesson learned, to manage the screen output more carefully!) – but fortunately, Adafruit have done a lovely job of making that easy to replace. I also think it might be nice to have that screen wedged up at a slight angle to aid readability.

    I have a notion that I can 3D print a case to more-or-less match the look of my Hyper Purple laptop. I don’t have an identical colour of filament, but I do have a range of options. I also ordered a bunch of different knobs for the potentiometer, and some alternate keycaps, so that I can make the look a bit more consistent as well.

    I don’t have a final case design yet (and I need to spend some time properly learning FreeCAD and/or Fusion360, really), and I also haven’t finished modifying the macros code to match what I’m using on Debian on the Pocket Reform, but this is just some work-in-progress.

  4. Control an #esphome #microcontroller via #uart or usb without WLAN or TCP/IP.
    Use it directly, for example, as an extension to an embedded system like a raspberryPi.

    With this custom component, you can! 😊
