🐝 BeePad 🐝

A MacroPad full of bees.

This is a library for building bee-powered RGB macro keys using the Adafruit RP2040 Macropad.

It supports 20 pages of 12 macros, so 240 individual macros.

It is written using CircuitPython.

Usage

You will need to write a code.py to define your macros.

from beepad import BeePad

from beepad.keymap import Keymap, TypeAction

pad = BeePad([
    Keymap("Git", [
        TypeAction("gst", "git status\n"),
        TypeAction("gc", "git commit\n"),
        TypeAction("gc -m", "git commit -m @"), # US Keyboard :(

        TypeAction("gca!", "git commit --amend\n"),
        TypeAction("gd", "git diff \n"),
        TypeAction("gd -s", "git diff --staged\n"),

        TypeAction("ga .", "git add .\n"),        
        TypeAction("ggpush", "git push origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)\n"),
        TypeAction("ggpull", "git pull origin $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)\n"),

        TypeAction("main", "git checkout main\n"),
        TypeAction("grm", "git rebase origin/main\n"),
        TypeAction("dgt", "git checkout -b dgt/"),
    ]),
    # Add more keymaps here!
])

while True:
    pad.b()

Updating

The boot.py file disables the serial port and USB flash drive in normal operation.

You can re-enable them by holding the top-left key when resetting the device.

Alternatively you can just not copy the boot.py to your device, although this will mean that there is always an additional flash drive connected to your computer, risking corruption of the flash on the RP2040.

Requirements

The following CircuitPython libraries are required.

You will need to install them in lib/.
