# What's Needed:

* 1x a RP2040-Macro-Pad case (mine was printed with resolution of 0.13 and infill 50%)

* 1x a RP2040 (any variant of the board will fit)

* 9x Mechanical keyboard switches

* 9x keycaps of your choice

* 1x a switch opener (optional)

* 4x M3 bolts (1cm long)

* wires

* soldering equipment

* a hot-glue gun

* a USB cable

# RP2040-Macro-Pad GPIO Pinout:



# Steps:

* Gather all the required components and tools from What's Needed

* Put the RP2040 board into bootloader mode and install [CircuitPython](https://circuitpython.org/board/raspberry_pi_pico/)

* Solder the cables according to the pinout diagram mentioned above

* Copy the files from the code folder to the RP2040

* Attach the RP2040 board to the case using hot-glue

* Secure the case by using the M3 bolts

* Congratulations! The assembly is complete. Now, you can define your own key mappings in the code.py file. The list of keycodes (keycode.py) and media controls (consumer_control_code.py) can be found in the lib\adafruit_hid directory

* Optional: If you are using Windows, you can remove the RP2040 storage letter in the computer management to make it appear as a regular macro pad

RP2040-Macro-Pad is based on [Sebastian Proost Project](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4816077)
