This is a macropad, a device that can immitate keyboard and keyboard combinations. It made out of Raspberry Pi Pico, Keyboard Switches, Diodes and 3d Printed Parts.

The reason why this device is need - you can assign custom shoutcuts to execute commands or use it for any applications. This type of electonics is commonly used by streamers, editors and artist.

The device is written in CircuitPython, thus it makes it more convenient that C++.

I build it as a gift for a birthday of my deer friend.

The software and 3D Models are developed by octosomething on printables.com.

I Was Experimenting With Boids Algorithms And Made a Simulation of Fishes.

I had been fascinated with simulations and behavior algorithms, so I decided to built another one; besides the Solar System project. This simulation is about swarm behavior - every instance will avoid each other with certain speed and group pattern. The name of algorithm is Boids Algorithm and this behavior is seen in fishes, birds etc.

The results are not as expected, but somehow works. It defenitely needs some extra development in algorithm, but which I will do next time.

Here is the source code of this project. Also, you can read about the algorithm on It’s wiki page.
