multi functional deck with an arduino and a 4x4 keypad.
The deck.py program listens on a port then run a sequence of commands for each character witch was readed from serial port.
By default you need an arduino board with a 4x4 keypad But actually you can create and use your own hardware witch sends characters over serial port to your computer.
In this case i have setup my arduino and keypad like this :
After setting up hardware write your own profiles for each key of the keypad or what ever you use.
Now just run the deck.py and enjoy ت
- Connect arduino board to the keypad like above image.
- Upload
keypad_to_serial.inoin to your arduino board. How ??? - Write your personal profile files in the profiles folder.
- Execute
deck.pyand enjoy.
Keypadlibrary for arduino from Mark Stanley, Alexander Brevig varsion 3.1.1 .
* Hardware setup from : https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Keypad-4x4-Tutorial/
pynputfor python .
In the profiles folder you can how many profiles you want and you need.
The defprofile file contains the name of default profile to use when running the program for first time so don't forget to write the name of your starting profile here.
But keep it in mind after changing profile with commands this file will be changed so it is better to say that this file contains last profile used with application.
* names between brakets [] are variable and you should change them accourding to your needs.
* also remove brakets.
>[portname]
example : >COM3
Use this port to communicate with hardware and read characters.
>[a character]
examples : >A >B >3
Execute all lines under this line (until a line like this) after pressing A character is keypad (or technicaly after receiving this character).
Lines started with a # and empty lines will be ignored
example : # this is a comment
<[profile file name]
example : <profile3.txt
Change the profile to given profile.
* the profile file should be at /profiles folder.
* don't use absolute pathes only tha name of files without any slashs or other characters.
>
example : >
Yes only a > is a command !
This acts like command number 2 but the difference is the lines under this line will be execute after pressing any key (or receiving any character from serial port).
type:[some thing]
example : type:hello all i'am using a greate program from saadati944 !!!
This is only command you can use spaces after :
sleep:[secconds]
example : sleep:0.1 means sleep for 100 millisecconds.
Do nothing for given secconds.
down:[a key name]
examples : down:enter down:a
Hold given key down.
up:[a key name]
examples : up:enter up:a
Release given key.
goto:[X],[Y]
example : goto:100,100
Quickly set mouse position to X, Y.
move:[X],[Y]
example : move:234,567
Move mose cursor to X, Y.
click:left
Emulate a left click with mouse.
click:right
Emulate a right click with mouse.
click:middle
Emulate a middle click with mouse.
mousedown:left
Hold mouse left key down.
mousedown:right
Hold mouse right key down.
mousedown:middle
Hold mouse middle key down.
mouseup:left
Release mouse left key.
mouseup:right
Release mouse right key.
mouseup:middle
Release mouse middle key.
exit
exit program.
Here is a simple example accourding to my own 4x4 keypad and.
# use com3 serial port
>COM3
# press command key (windows key) after pressing '#'
>#
down:cmd
up:cmd
#open notepad and write some text in it after pressing 'A'
>A
# windows + s
down:cmd
down:s
up:s
up:cmd
#wait 0.5 secconds
sleep:0.5
# write notepad
type:notepad.exe
# wait 0.5 secconds
sleep:0.5
# press enter to run notepad program
down:enter
up:enter
# wait 0.5 secconds
sleep:0.5
# type something...
type:hey it works fine !!!.
# move mouse courser to 0,0 then
# change profile to 'counter strike.txt' after pressing 0
>0
move:0,0
<counter strike.txt
# do nothing for these keys.
# also it is possible to don't write these headers.
