A helper library for the Adafruit MacroPad RP2040.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

• Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython NeoPixel library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_NeoPixel>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython HID library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_HID>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython MIDI library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_MIDI>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython Display Text library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython Simple Text Display library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Simple_Text_Display>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython Debouncer library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Debouncer>_

• Adafruit's CircuitPython Ticks library <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Ticks>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries> or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>.

This library is designed to work withe the Adafruit MacroPad RP2040. Consider purchasing one from the Adafruit shop:

Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 Bare Bones <http://www.adafruit.com/products/5100> Adafruit MacroPad RP2040 Starter Kit <https://www.adafruit.com/product/5128>

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install adafruit_macropad

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

This example prints out the key pressed, the relative position of the rotary encoder and the state of the rotary encoder switch.

.. code-block:: python

from adafruit_macropad import MacroPad
import time

macropad = MacroPad()

while True:
    key_event = macropad.keys.events.get()
    if key_event and key_event.pressed:
     print("Key pressed: {}".format(key_event.key_number))
    print("Encoder: {}".format(macropad.encoder))
    print("Encoder switch: {}".format(macropad.encoder_switch))
    time.sleep(0.4)
