Interact with JC-Pro_Macro-2 via JSON.

This should allow for a configuration webpage to directly communicate with the device in the following ways via web serial API. You can test with the Arduino IDE serial monitor

  • Set/Get configuration of buttons/encoder
  • Set lights
  • Reset EEPROM
  • Detect Key Presses and Encoder directly in browser

Original intent was to be able to load multiple profiles onto the device, but ran out of RAM to parse the complex JSON structure. Alternatively, the browser/script/cli can load different configs and manage "profiles" externally.

Example config

{
  "command": "SET",
  "profileID": 1,
  "generalConfig": {
    "defaultColor": [100, 100, 100]   // Default color for all buttons if none is specified
  },
  "buttons": {
    "0": {
      "action": "key",                // Type of action (e.g., key press or mouse move)
      "keys": "A",                    // Key(s) to be pressed
      "modifiers": "Ctrl",            // Optional modifiers (e.g., Ctrl, Shift)
      "x": 0,                         // X-coordinate for mouse move
      "y": 0,                         // Y-coordinate for mouse move
      "color": [255, 0, 0],           // RGB color for the button's normal state
      "colorOnPress": [0, 255, 0]     // Optional RGB color for the button's pressed state
    },
    "1": {
      "action": "mouse_move",
      "keys": "",
      "modifiers": "",
      "x": 100,
      "y": 50,
      "color": [0, 0, 255]            // Normal state color, no colorOnPress
    }
    // Continue defining buttons from 0 to 8
  },
  "encoder": {
    "increment": {
      "action": "key",               // Action for increasing
      "keys": "UpArrow",             // Key pressed when increasing
      "modifiers": "Shift"           // Optional modifiers for the increase action
    },
    "decrement": {
      "action": "key",               // Action for decreasing
      "keys": "DownArrow",           // Key pressed when decreasing
      "modifiers": "Shift"           // Optional modifiers for the decrease action
    }
  }
}

Get

{
  "command": "GET",
  "button": 2
}

Set Color

{
  "command": "SET_COLOR",
  "pixel": 4,
  "color": [255, 0, 0]
}

Reset EEPROM

{
  "command": "RESET_EEPROM"
}

Frustratingly not enough ram to parse the config JSON on the Leonardo boards. Proof of concept works if you run the "debug" command. This loads mostly random values.

{ "command": "DEBUG" }
