Have you made your own sanity-saving solution for our times? Let us know! Posted in Arduino Hacks, Lifehacks Tagged arduino, Arduino Mega 2560, big red buttons, hardware controls, videoconferencing, zoom was inspired by the Zoom call-terminating pull chain we saw a month or so ago as well as the pink control box that launched a thousand or so macro keyboards. (We all know the big red mushroom button is for aborting the call so does it really need an icon?) After setting that up, it was mostly a matter of wiring all those latching and momentary buttons and LEDs to the Mega and making them look fantastic with a set of icons.
’s ready pile of Arduinos yielded no Leonardos or Pro Micros, but that’s okay because there’s a handy bootloader out there that allows you to reprogram the USB interface chip of an Uno or a Mega and use it as a keyboard. Instead, those buttons found a good home in this colorful and enticing Zoom control panel. had some awesome light-up tactile buttons set aside for a killer Kerbal Space Program controller, but it’s funny how a pandemic will change your priorities. That goes double for not being a teacher these days.
Considering the state of well, everything, we can’t tell you how glad we are to be out of school.
