@@codigoBinario01 I used cherry keyboard switches for my build. I have a laser cutter and engraver which helped to make the key placement exact, but a 3D printer couild do the same. I only had to purchase the diodes, the keys, and the ESP32. It's a pretty easy soldering job. the software is dead simple to adapt to your needs. I used Brian Lough's KZbin videos on making a keypad to guide me and adapted his software with just a few changes. My first major electronic project. His is dead simple and can use one of those flat blister 12 figure flat plastic keypads. The other route is to get a bluetooth USB number keypad. Then you can make it more easily wireless which is very handy to step away from streaming computer. You can also reprogram that keypad too. Right now I am trying to figure out how to use LiFePo batteries with this and get a rechanging circuit built in to mine.

Also note, that HID keyboard will still just send "key IDs", this it is effected by the active keyboard layout of your operating system.

Well after looking at your website it seems that KZbin comments are the best way to reach you. I merely want to thank you so much for all the great content you have been putting out here on your channel. Though I have been messing with computers since the early 1980's, I have always only been comfortable with software. Of course I can build computers from parts, etc. But having never had a proper electronics education, I have always had some trepidation when it came to discreet electronic components and other things that involved soldering irons, blue smoke, and (seeming) black magic. But recently I have discovered the world of NodeMCU devices and decided that I should buy a soldering iron because maybe it was time to play in the hardware hacking world. Shortly after learning how to make a fun LED-strip project with a NodeMCU, logic level converter, and buck-converter, I came upon your channel here on KZbin. I find all your videos extremely informative and fun to watch,. And they give me inspiration for future project ideas. I really especially appreciate your videos on antennas, as I have found them fascinating. I have watched many of your videos now and enjoy them very much (including the summaries at the end, by the way -- I don't skip the endings). I just want you to know that you are appreciated. So thank, you, Andreas, for all your hard work, and your fantastic presentation.

Just to remark: HID Devices are a pain, if you need to route / filter keypresses to a special application. This is such a pain. There is no simple API/OS Funktion in Windows to detect which HID Device has sent the keypress. Simple to do Linux, but not in Windows. I run into this problem to build a special communication keyboard which only should send it's keypresses only to one application. There are some solutions with LUA and some Macrorecorders e.g. Auto Hot Key. A painful solution. This is the horror, when you run a multi screen environment and you like to have a special console for one app and a normal keyboard for the main screen. I build a in flight control system for quadcopters and I need 2 application which both have the same mapping of shortcuts and they do not have a configuration to change this. Final solution: One of the apps are available in linux so i run a small virtual container in seamless mode and filter the forwarded keypresses via UDEV Rules. Works well, but was a long way to build a field stable application.

@@AndreasSpiess I searched a bit and I found remains of it on an old archive disk! It was 10 years ago and not 12. And it was this thing: imakeprojects.com/Projects/haunted-usb-cable/ And the only modification to the code was that I limited it to Caps Lock because Keys like "space" were too dangerous. ("rm -rf /var/cache/something/*" could become "rm -rf / var/cache/something/*")). And yes, it was fun for everyone but the poor victim. ;)

Just to make it clear, this is not my website and I just used their code and schematic. What I found on my archive was the downloaded code and the modified version. I used this to find the above mentioned website. And yes, their idea and presentation was very good (but the code was a bit too dangerous, space or enter keys can be bad when they meet a root shell).

So if your pro micro is programmed to now be a HID device, how do you get an updated sketch on it? Googling suggests the bootloader gets activated for a very short duration on reset and for longer if you "double reset" Is that true Andreas?

HID is a place where CircuitPython can be a lot of fun and save time in the developpement. Take any M0 (or M4) CircuitPython board, even a Gemma or Trinked M0 and you are ready to inject USB key/mouse/media button. If you want some BLE fun, you can use any nRF52840 board and do that too (and simultaneously USB and BLE HID). I would go for the ItsyBitsy family if size matter. My usage has been to keep the computer/VDI connection alive while teleworking, jiggling the mouse in tiny circlar motion (octogonal move really) is enough to keep it alive but not disturbing for the user.

@@AndreasSpiess While I think on, I found a lovely smooth rotary encoder (no knob though). www.amazon.com/Signswise-Incremental-Encoder-Dc5-24v-Voltage/dp/B00UTIFCVA Not exactly cheap but the motion is lovely and it spins freely without any detents. Should make a lovely jog dial for Resolve. I really need to check and see how much of their API is open because that would be an amazing project for makers! EDIT: and just like that, I find this... diop.github.io/davinci-resolve-api/ Now all I need to do is see how those panels work and if we we need little displays in there!

Thank you very much for your again excellent video. In this video I saw that you are using winSCP; I am not anymore. A few weeks ago I was looking for a bottleneck in a transfer of larger files. I noticed that the communication with SCP via winSCP is extremely slow. Still slow with SFTP via winSCP. SFTP via Filezilla met my expectations. Since you always allow ssh access to a device, SFTP works without additional installations. I wish everyone a nice summer :-)

@@AndreasSpiess The BBC micro:bit is a small (4x5cm) board intended for educational use. Every 11 year old kid in Britain received one to use in class, starting in 2016 (over a million to date). Its based around the Nordic nRF51822 and includes bluetooth, native USB, and the thing that makes it interesting for my application, an accelerometer, two uncommitted buttons, and a 5x5 led matrix. It will even run off a pair of AA batteries, the kit includes a holder. And they are cheap, US$15, while the comparable arduino BLE nano lacks the light matrix and uncommitted buttons, for US$21. (I am trying to build a simulator for a hand bell, that could be assembled from a cheap off the shelf board, without the need for any soldering. All it would require is attaching some kind of handle, and loading software to make the thing, greatly reducing the skills needed to build yourself some. Its intended to be used with simulation software that currently just detects key presses. So I need bluetooth keyboard to press the buttons, the accelerometer to detect when you swung the bell, and the buttons/lights so you can select the note the bell will play)
