The Infinity USB Knob #Trinket #TrinketM0 @Hackaday @HackadayIO
Hackaday.io user vincentmakes posts a terrific project, building a stylish control knob which can plug into a computer for control.
I found very few solutions that would allow me to execute repetitive keyboard actions. It is something that could be useful when working with Lightroom or Photoshop in order to quickly reverse a few actions back and forth to visualize the result.
All commercial items I found are task specific and not very customizable, so I decided to build my own.
By using the push button on the rotary encoder, I should be able to switch between pre-defined shortcut and get a visual feedback using the NeoPixel ring.
I also want to make something accessible to anyone and easy to reproduce.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
