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

You can assign shoutcuts to execute commands or use it with some applications.

As software it uses Circuitpython, due to the convenience in development and modifications.

It is a gift for a birthday.

The device is developed by octosomething on printables.com.

Had fun with Boids Algorithms and made the fish simulation.

I have 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 like every instance will avoid each other with nearly not losing any speed. It’s name is Boids Algorithm and this behavior is seen in fishes, birds etc.

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