From the project

An upgraded Adafruit Macropad with easier macro-layer-switching using additional NeoKey buttons (and OLED display). Also includes keyboard-layout switching and dimming as well as a lot of macro-definitions.

This repository contains necessary components and fabrication instructions for my Ultimate Adafruit Macropad, as well as the code and macro-definitions I run on it. Configuration and usage instructions are also listed here.

I've basically added two NeoKey 1x4 boards next to the Adafruit Macropad to simplify macro-layer-switching. I've found that pressing a button to change a macro-layer on the Macropad is much faster than rotating the encoder, certainly if there are (currently) more than 25 layers defined. The encoder is repurposed to change macro-selection-layers on the NeoKey buttons. To…
