The shell command comes in handy for making the design hollow. It's starting to take shape just by completing a 2D sketch and extrusion! Extruded sketch Once the 2D sketch design was made, I extruded it by 100mm. This meant the height would be 25mm from base to the lid.

I needed to ensure there would be sufficient depth for the arcade button, plus the terminals. I started off by creating a 2D sketch of straight lines that would be the base of my design. I also got some advice and help from friends who use and teach 3D CAD professionally to get moving on my DIY keyboard design! Thanks for your patience, lads! Once you get started in Fusion (and his advice to use keyboard shortcuts does help!) it really isn't that daunting. Thankfully I found some great YouTube tutorials to get me started, big shout to Lars Christensen. I used to use AutoCad for 2D electrical schematics in work, but I had never dabbled in 3D except for TinkerCAD.

I recently started using Fusion360 to learn how to make 3D designs. When I ordered arcade buttons from Amazon, the best option I had was a bag of 24 - so I have 18 extra buttons - if you're in Europe get in touch and I will send you some! Design The 6 button Stream Deck on Amazon is priced at £110.83 - that's quite a difference!

I managed to get all the materials I need for under €20.

They can be purchased cheaply, they come in a number of different colours, and they're really easy to pop out and replace if necessary. I decided to use arcade buttons for my project. They can be purchased for around €6 each if buying single unitsīe careful when purchasing these that you actually get a 'pro micro', some Amazon listings appear and look similar, but aren't the ATmega32U4 chip. This means, when you trigger an input, you can have the Arduino board send a signal to your computer, just like a keyboard would. The Arduino Pro Micro is based on the ATmega32U4, with 12 inputs and a built in USB which is recognised as a HID input.

You have probably never seen or used F13-24 before, as they don't normally exist on the keyboard this is good for us as they are rarely mapped inside programs and we can use software on our computer to map the function keys to different keystrokes, so this is what we will use.Ĭhoosing a micro-controller for this project is pretty easy, too. This could be done a number of different ways - the keys could be programmed on the micro-processor itself and a button used to change programs, or using Function keys 13-24. The biggest feature I require is being able to customise the buttons so they work on different programs, so they will map differently for Teams, Jitsi and PowerPoint for example. To keep things simple I'm just going to make a small device with just a couple of rows of buttons. The macro keyboard could be used for shortcuts in PowerPoint, your soft-phone if you are dialing into work from your laptop, web conferencing (Zoom, etc), smart-home control. Our macro keyboard is going to be really simple compared to the Stream Deck and it won't have nice LCD keys, but it can be made at home and for a fraction of the cost. They look like great fun and I'm sure I could find a use for one on the bench, but where's the fun in buying when you can make! These can be used to perform different tasks while you are live streaming - and they can be easily customised. The smallest version, the Stream Deck Mini has two rows of three buttons. If you haven't heard of Stream Deck, it's a desk macro controller for online broadcasters. The big increase in video conferencing and delivering online teaching was the kick I needed to finish a project I have been toying with for a few months - a DIY 'Stream Deck'. Modern communications have thankfully made staying in touch with friends, family & colleagues much easier during the lock-down. I have been doing a lot of Teams & Jitsi calls lately, like a lot of people around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
