A Raspberry Pi RP2040 Macropad with magnetic modules for expansion #CircuitPython #RP2040 @salimbenbouz @TomsHardware

In his latest video, maker and developer Salim Benbouziyane has created a Raspberry Pi RP2040-powered macropad called the Ocreeb MK2 that uses magnets to add and remove modules.

The Ocreeb MK2 project is an upgrade to another macropad Benbouziyane put together last year called the Ocreeb. According to Benbouziyane, the idea behind the MK2 was to make a macropad with a selection of optional add-on modules that would be easy to attach in multiple configurations using magnets.

The main board powering the macropad is a Xiao RP2040 with KMK (CircuitPython) firmware and it also uses Adafruit’s Seesaw framework. The Adafruit TCA4307 is used to allow hot swap on the I2C bus.

See the video below, GitHub and Tom’s Hardware.
