Hi All,
I have been working on a little project after being inspired by the "DIY 87-Key Macro Keyboard" video and was just looking for advice on whether people think it is something that i should continue to develop and possible release.
It is basically a macro keyboard (or virtual stream deck) that allow you to run macros on a windows machine using an android tablet as the keyboard.
The android app connects the the windows machine and presents a grid (configurable size) of buttons that when pressed will run the macro on the windows machine. The windows app runs in the background and is used to configure the virtual keyboards (multiple tablets(or phones) can be used to control one windows machine).
The macros can be configured to run a queue of:
Key Combinations (including separate key up and downs and includes all keys that windows supports, for example F13-24)
Strings (to type strings without having to use individual key presses)
Mouse Clicks
Shell Commands
Plugins (support for .net class dlls that run a function with a string parameter)
The keyboard it self allows:
Text Labels (configurable colour for text and background)
Images
Animated Gifs
Plugins (dynamic images can be sent from the windows machine, the example i created sends an image of the current ram/cpu usage once per second)
Separate keyboards per windows app that switches automatically as you switch apps in windows
Multiple pages (navigated using either swiping or buttons that would appear more hierarchical)
I have pretty much finished the app(s), but it is in no way polished or properly bug tested, i'm just wondering if you think anyone would be interested in such an app.
