DownloadYou can download the Arduino example sketch here: Hotkeys_LEDs.ino!Learn how it works! Hotkeys for Arduino is open source, you can see how it all works by looking at the code on Github! We highly encourage you to fork it and contribute! :D Tweetware! Hotkeys for Arduino can be purchased at the Mac App Store. We prefer the Mac App Store method because it funds our development time :) However, you can get Hotkeys for Arduino as Tweetware. This means you will have to perform one (or more) of the following micro-actions:

Usage
Step 1: Download the software
Download the Arduino IDE and download the Hotkeys for Arduino software.Step 2: Make your project!
In order for the app to be useful, we will need to have a cool project! Hotkeys for Arduino can work with any project, for a simple example, we can connect some LEDs to the Arduino.Step 3: Upload the sketch
Here is a pre-baked example sketch that you can use to test! We have LEDs connected on pins 13-8.
Download Hotkeys_LEDs.ino
Or, you can just inset this snippet of code into your existing sketch. Make sure that Serial is running at 115200 baud, and currentAction is an int.
if(Serial.available() > 0) {
char c = (char)Serial.read();
currentAction = atoi(&c);
}
switch(currentAction) {
case 1:
// Action 1
break;
case 2:
// Action 2
break;
case 3:
// Action 3
break;
case 4:
// Action 4
break;
case 5:
// Action 5
break;
case 6:
// Action 6
break;
}
Step 4: Press GO!
Plug in your Arduino (if it isn't plugged in already), and open Hotkeys for Arduino.There is a pull-down menu with all the ports connected to your computer. Choose the one that works for your Arduino. This is the same one that you use when you upload code.
Set your custom hotkeys by clicking in the rounded field next to the number labels. Then press any key combination starting with control, option, command, or shift and whatever letter and numbers afterwards.
Press the GO! button to connect to the Arduino! Try out some of the hotkeys, your sketch should be receiving the updates!
You can change your hotkey combination at any time by clicking the rounded field, then clicking the grey X button.
Have fun!
Step 5: Tinker
You can learn how Hotkeys for Arduino works by looking at the code on GitHub. We encourage you to contribute, redistribute, and improve it! :)Contribute
Hotkeys for Arduino is Open Source under the BSD 3-Clause license! Fork the repository, and modify it all you want. We encourage you to redistribute your code. If you do create something cool or improve upon this, please let us know!There aren't that many more features that you can add on to hotkeys… maybe annoying sound effects? :D Either way, contributions are welcome!
