A smol waffle with clicky buttons of power (aka a macro-pad)

There are two folders at the root of this repo which contain scripts that bind to your macro pad. One for Linux (autokey) and one for Windows (autohotkey).

This allows you to bind keys on your macropad to execute scripts for automation. Of course you can always use default QMK keybinds if you like. These include string macros, volume/media controls, launching applications, etc. However, we want to made our little clicky waffle be upgraded and do more than just what QMK allows us to do!

Using autokey or autohotkey we can have each button on our macro pad invoke Python scripts for automation and custom actions to do whatever our heart desires!

Clone this repo to your home directory.

• Windows: C:\Users\<username>
• Linux: ~/<username>

If you are running Windows, install autohotkey and ensure it runs on startup. Ensure the C:\Users\<username>\upgraded-waffle\autohotkey folder is being used when autohotkey runs.

If you are running Linux install autokey and ensure it runs on start-up and points to the ~/upgrade-waffle/autokey directory.

To build a keyboard firmware hex file with QMK, see the nested documentation here
