Using CircuitPython, you can turn this into a USB macro pad or a MIDI controller.</p><p>Designed to look like a kitty paw, this four-button keypad is 3D printed and uses mechanical key switches. Featuring key cap "Toe Beans", this little project is paired nicely with one of Adafruit's cutest dev boards.</p><p>The 1.54in TFT screen displays an animated bitmap of the infamous Party Parrot and advances a frame each time a key is pressed. The buttons can be mapped to MIDI notes and keyboard shortcuts, making this fully customizable.</p><p>The QT Py RP2040 is perfect for projects that need a display and a few key switches. The enclosure is 3D printed with parts that snap fit together.</p><p>Code by Liz Clark (@BlitzCityDIY) design by Noe Ruiz (@ecken)</p><p>Kitty Paw Learn Guide<br><a href="https://learn.adafruit.com/kitty-toe-bean-paw-keypad-color-tct">https://learn.adafruit.com/kitty-toe-bean-paw-keypad-color-tct</a></p><p>MIDI Kitty Code by Liz Clark<br><a href="https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/tree/main/Kitty_Paw_Keypad">https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/tree/main/Kitty_Paw_Keypad</a></p><p>Fusion 360 Tutorial – Layer by Layer – Sweeping Snap Fits<br><a href="https://youtu.be/9o3ySuWTZkc">https://youtu.be/9o3ySuWTZkc</a></p><p>Layer by Layer – Symmetrical Splines in Fusion 360<br><a href="https://youtu.be/_jblwhxdDAM">https://youtu.be/_jblwhxdDAM</a></p><p>1.54in TFT Display<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3787">https://www.adafruit.com/product/3787</a></p><p>QT Py RP2040<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/4900">https://www.adafruit.com/product/4900</a></p><p>Kailh Switches<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/4955">https://www.adafruit.com/product/4955</a></p><p>10-wire Ribbon cable<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/3890">https://www.adafruit.com/product/3890</a></p><p>USB-C cable with switch<br><a href="https://www.adafruit.com/product/4696">https://www.adafruit.com/product/4696</a></p><p>3D Hangouts –&nbsp;Kitty Paw Preview<br><a href="https://youtu.be/Gg1LrVbVkTU">https://youtu.be/Gg1LrVbVkTU</a></p><p>Layer by Layer – Symmetrical Splines<br><a href="https://youtu.be/_jblwhxdDAM">https://youtu.be/_jblwhxdDAM</a></p><p>Fusion 360 Tutorial – Layer by Layer – Sweeping Snap Fits<br><a href="https://youtu.be/9o3ySuWTZkc">https://youtu.be/9o3ySuWTZkc</a></p>
