  DeckerEgo • 03/27/2026 at 14:32 • 0 comments

  Version 4 is out (actually 4.3.1 as of today) and has a ton of new features, compatibility with CircuitPython 10, and UI fixes. This includes:

  • Mouse wheel support
  • New macro attribute: "launch." This will allow you to execute a key sequence when switching to a new screen on the macropod.
  • Allowed users to define what happens when the rotary encoder is rotated or pressed
  • "Sleeping" the display is now a command you can issue as a macro
  • LED & display timeout can now be configured per macro page
  • Moved pre-made macro pages out into the Wiki
  • Don't mount USB storage unless mounted in read/write mode
  • Latest Adafruit core libraries

  The next release will be more focused on animations - I'm working on allowing user-defined "shaders" to be applied during key press actions or when idle.

• Version 4 Beta Released!

  I've redone a lot of things with the Macropad Hotkeys lately to better support workstations like DaVinci Resolve. A pre-release is already available, and after some testing will make this a latest release.

  Some changes:

  • New macro attribute: "launch." This will allow you to execute a key sequence when switching to a new screen on the macropod.
  • Allowed users to define what happens when the rotary encoder is rotated or pressed
  • "Sleeping" the display is now a command you can issue as a macro
  • LED & display timeout can now be configured per macro page
  • Moved pre-made macro pages out into the Wiki
  • "launch" parameter on macro pages to launch a key combination on start
  • Moar bugfixes
