Description

USB Circuit Python Controllers

In this project, we'll build a USB foot switch controller. This can be used as an addition to your keyboard or as a way to free up your hands. I'm using it to do overhead photography so I can trigger the camera and use my hands at the same time.

It’s powered by Adafruit’s Trinket M0 which is a tiny microcontroller that can run Circuit Python. Just connect over USB and load it as a flash drive. All of the code and libraries are accessible on the drive so you can make small edits and iterate quickly. The Adafruit HID library simulates USB devices so it can send keypress just like a mouse and keyboard.

You should process the data before putting it into the device. <a href="https://fallguys.onl">fall guys</a>

What are the raised circles for on the top and bottom pieces? They looked like hard stops but they don't touch.

Looks to me , they are for a spring to open the switch.
