For now, I’ll focus on the hardware. Im thinking it to be green/white colours, with a small window, next to the window would be the buttons, above the small window will be the display. I’m thinking to make the SpikePad+ compatible with all sorts of stuff. Maybe I even make a program for windows to control it. Its gonna make configuring it easier and programming all the buttons a piece of cake. Im looking to make the SpikePad+ connect to the program, through USB. For addons like HomeAssitsant it would communicate by using the SpikePad program (I’m probably gonna make, something like a driver) and share the data it wants to send, through the program itself. I also want to make an addon for the SpikePad to for example mute/unmute you on discord or Simple Voice Chat (minecraft mod), it would be great. For the main Menu of the SpikePad I want to make so the left and right buttons are: left and right (of course who would’ve thought?!), the center button a confirmation button, and the top button a back button. Or around, the down button the back button and the top button the confirm button. It would have a small menu of text on the screen - by having a small text we can work in modes, for example when the SpikePad boots up we have modes like: Discord, spotify, home Assistant, Minecraft and all. But once we confirm on one of them the screen brings us to more options like: mute for discord, next track for spotify and turn off the lights in HomeAssistant. It would be a menu IN A MENU. It was the only idea for me, how could I implement such big amount of my ideas into a small screen and some buttons. Im gonna post the entire journey to github and Hack Club. I want the project on github for one reason: people can recreate it. It would be very great to see people apriciate my work by making they’re own SpikePads, and addons for it. Im going to make the Windows program as simple and intuitive as possible, to make people come and program posibilities. Its something like a stream deck, but cheaper, and more cool. I dont really have an idea for the case, but it defenetly will have the colours green and white, im not sure yet if I want it to look like a cactus, it would be preety bulky.I want something small and preety, something to make people ask when they see it. I saw in the introduction there was a spinning bit (i dont know its name, im not so good at english. 🇵🇱), i think i’ll use it for more options, like: changing the volume of the song on spotify, or changing a user’s volume in Discord. I cant think of something diffrent. For now those were my ideas. Lets post my first devlog! Lets start!
