Macro Pi: DIY Macro Pad w/ OLED, Cherry MX Keys and more!

thingiverse

This is a fully programmable DIY Macro Pad with a built-in 0.96" OLED Display, 10 programmable Cherry MX Switches and a Rotary Encoder for volume control. I was inspired for this build when searching for a DIY Macro Pad solution, and found a macro pad design by @tanmayburde and mechanical switch key caps by @spartanvi. With the same idea in mind, I build upon @tanmayburde's design by relocating the OLED frame to the left side of the model and adding a hole for the rotary encoder on the right side. The Macro Pad is controlled by a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller running CircuitPython. CircuitPython was better solution since it has more hardware compatibility, see all the hardware I used below: Hardware: - Raspberry Pi Pico: https://a.co/d/8NHYEwB - RPi Pico Breakout Board: https://a.co/d/1kFC9kB - SSD1306 0.96" OLED Display: https://a.co/d/akbW7aJ - 10x Cherry MX Key Switches: https://a.co/d/b6fZh0k - KY-040 Rotary Encoder: https://a.co/d/aUKldMH - Quick-Disconnect Wires: https://a.co/d/8K2Bv8N - 4x M3 Threaded Inserts: https://a.co/d/7eA7UFv - 2x M3 x 12mm Screws: https://a.co/d/927AFBi - 2x M3 x 8mm Screws: Above ^^^^^ Assembly Equipment: - Soldiering Iron + accessories - Small wire
