Mini Version! (Macro Keyboard v1.0)

Here's an 8 key version or (6-key + 2 encoder version) of the same thing. The schematic is cleaned up a bit; now slightly more intuitive. All features remain in-tact. A few new features include:

  • Fits either Arduino Pro Micro: the mini USB or micro USB version. 
  • Breakout for I2C (add an LCD). Note VCC =3.3V

 

This version and the code below is explained a bit more in the related MacroKeyboard Version 2.0 video: https://youtu.be/IDlcxLQ1SbY

/*******************************************************************
 * A multi-mode Macro keyboard with Arduino Pro Micro using row column matrix-ing.
 * This is example sketch to understand key layout, assignments, and command protocols. 
 * This example is slightly more robust than the larger size MacroKeyboard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acJ6gufBN_A.
 * Each mode (profile/application) has a unique definition for each encoder, including mouse control and a display LCD
 * to descibes the modes or key assignements. 
 * Some mouse movement get their value from analogRead(pin 0) so make sure something is connected.
 * Don't forget to solder all the diode and encoder solder jumpers on the backside!!

Ryan's Pro Tips:
=============== Keyboard Control================================================================================
Keyboard.write();   Sends a keystroke to a connected computer. 
                    This is similar to pressing and releasing a key on your keyboard.
                    Will send a shift command if applicable. Example: Keyboard.write('K') will 
                    automatically do SHIFT + k. 
                    Can also accept ASCII code like this:
                    //Keyboard.write(32); // This is space bar (in decimal)
                    Helpful list of ASCII + decimal keys http://www.asciitable.com/
                    

Keyboard.press();   Best for holding down a key with multi-key commands; like copy/ paste
                    This example is [ctrl] + [shift] + [e] 
                      //Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_CTRL);
                      //Keyboard.press(KEY_LEFT_SHIFT);
                      //Keyboard.press('e'); 
                      //delay(100); Keyboard.releaseAll();
                

Keyboard.print();   Sends a keystroke(s)
                    Keyboard.print("stop using aim bot"); // types this in as a char or int! (not a string)!


Keyboard.println(); Sends a keystroke followed by a newline (carriage return)
                     Very practical if you want to type a password and login in one button press!
                     
SOMETIMES, applications are coded to recognize Keyboard.press() and not Keyboard.write() and vice versa.
You might have to experiment. 

=============== Mouse Control================================================================================
Mouse.move(x, y, wheel);  Moves the mouse and or scroll wheel up/down left/right.
                          Range is -128 to +127. units are pixels 
                          -number = left or down
                          +number = right or up

Mouse.press(b);         Presses the mouse button (still need to call release). Replace "b" with:
                        MOUSE_LEFT   //Left Mouse button
                        MOUSE_RIGHT  //Right Mouse button
                        MOUSE_MIDDLE //Middle mouse button
                        MOUSE_ALL    //All three mouse buttons
                        
Mouse.release(b);       Releases the mouse button.

Mouse.click(b);         A quick press and release.
