Another FreeCAD Gadget: Physical macro pad

[mnesarco]

Auto-Assigned Macro Icons seems to work well. Now I have to deal with the fact that many macros have very long names.

Last pic looks nice. I think variable sizes looks better

Using my old tablet:

The video was truncated at the end, I touched the phone screen accidentally. It is very hard to record with a phone in one hand and manipulate two other screens plus a controller with the other one but you get the idea.

Nice.

Just been playing with Macro Deck (free but android+windows only) tonight on an old tablet and found your post after wondering if anybody else has added something so awesome, but looks like you beat me to it .

I've only been at it for 30 mins playing around (most of which was converting the FreeCad svg artwork to png and adding the Shortcuts Add-on)... but this video should give the general gist.

I am considering sending updates with a timer but checking actions status all the time can be a performace problem, so I am open to ideas here.

Maybe try this: send a request for status change info an a constant loop - without delay. But on server side when you got that request do not answer imidiately with 'no change' but instead wait up to say 10-20s for possible change and report status when there is change or time is up. Limit is required to avoid connection timeout. This way you get info about status whenever there is a change at the moment of change, and you are sending few small requests for minute what should not create a performance problem.

Cool design, unfortunately I don't have any pad to try this

Okay, so you got right hand on mouse, left hand on pad and third hand on keyb ...

whoops we got a problem here ...

Code: Select all

Error in DNA/RNA.py:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/doul/body.py", line 279, in set_third_arm
	return part.body.getElement(third_hand) 
<class 'HumanBody'>: no member third hand
