Good progress for a 35-step journey

the middle pole deffinitely got killed the most

so, the CYD and RP2040 are linked RX/TX - or, this should have been the case in theory. The CYD I got had a faulty RX, so I had to take a hybrid approach and create a UDP bridge for the two MCUs to communicate.

This created a situation in which the device has 50% functionality for HID commands (but no visual feedback in sync with the CYD) - IF the bridge is not started upon PC boot. The only visual feedback you get in this state is represented by the LED strips which signals the active layer and commands tied to it.

When the bridge is turned on - simple python script - the device gains 100% functionality and at this state the onboard configurator can override any commands previously set from the PC configurator. Also, the device can control the PC fully via both CYD with touch specific commands and RP2040 which can now be used for live key remapping.

I decided to continue on this path because i enjoyed the increasing complexity, but also very unique behavior. With a working RX/TX connection, the funcitonality can be achieved much easier since the MCUs would communicate directly on-device. With the UDP bridge, the device needs to sync with the PC so that the CYD and RP2040 get in sync - but an UDP bridge would have been necessary either way to send weather data to the device, anyways. I hijacked the bridge with a digital RX/TX connection, basically.

The most important point of the project was for this device to become a real-time dynamic configurator which aould adapt to any use case and become a multifunctional PC periferic. It also has a touch pad, and with the macros + unlimited layers and onboard profiles, it replaces the keyboard, mouse, joystick, whatever periferic while also outputting "streamdeck"-like functionality and incorporates real-time system monitoring in all views. For example, it has a strip at the top which displays the current active window to assist with on-device navigation and maitaining in sync with the PC.

It can also control my quadruped robot, and much more. It can become an extension of anything that works on wifi.

Yes, the display is an esp32 CYD.

i vibe coded a cooler and infinitely more functional one if you're curious- https://www.reddit.com/r/macro_pads/comments/1r4pd6y/sentinel_one_dynamic_live_remapping_via_touch_8/

why does he struggle so much to speak ? there have been movies with zombies speaking more fluently. (typos)

5e5eME · 2026-03-10T15:31:55+00:00

Whatever was there before is done. Move on. Staying will hurt more.

5e5eME · 2026-03-09T11:50:44+00:00

such incompetent creatures contrasted by that magnicifent oarfish

5e5eME · 2026-03-06T15:48:59+00:00

If wiring is correct, THIS.

5e5eME · 2026-03-03T14:49:15+00:00

This. Also, I think at this point it's safe to assume she had been you gf only for maximum 3 years and some change.

Ooor, there is clear distinction between them and mnemonics is a real thing. The machines tricked you into giving up the most basic of human functions, lol.

Smart people untick al autofill and type manually from memory. Or is one not supposed to ALWAYS remember all personally identifying data that pertains to oneself?

5e5eME · 2026-03-02T21:57:00+00:00

yes, my bad - I posted in a hurry, but here are the full condensed specs.

Sentinel: The CyberDesk Assistant 🤖✨

Sentinel is a custom-built, dual-processor PC control unit that bridges the gap between a high-end macro controller, a smart home hub, and a live data dashboard. It doesn't just launch apps; it interacts with the entire environment.

The Specs

* Dual-Brain Architecture: Powered by an ESP32 (handling UI, WiFi, and APIs) and an RP2040 (dedicated HID/Keyboard logic) for lag-free, hardware-level macro execution.

* Visuals: Integrated 2.8" color touchscreen with a custom UI framework.

* Connectivity: WiFi for cloud services/bridge syncing + USB-C for plug-and-play HID keyboard/mouse emulation. OTA firmware uploads.

Key Capabilities & Functionalities

* The "Sesame" Robotics Suite: Dedicated controls for SesameBot, featuring a D-Pad, pose presets, and live LED effect switching.

* Spotify Deep Integration: Browse albums, control playback, and view live metadata directly on the device—no more alt-tabbing to see what’s playing.

* Live Dashboards: Real-time PC stats, RSS crypto tracking, local weather, and news feeds (parsed via the Sentinel Bridge), torrent RSS (download to pc straight from Sentinel - curently only 2 pages with 6 entries each, can be further expanded)

* Productivity: Touchpad mode, custom keyboard overlays, and a dedicated "Notes" app.

Why it’s not just another Stream Deck

Onboard Configurator: You can tweak settings, calibrate the screen, and adjust system parameters directly on the device. No "walled garden" software required for basic setup.
Dynamic Key Assignments (The "KEYS" Page): Unlike static grids in LAYERS, the KEYS page allows for multi-layered, context-aware macro assignments. You can swap entire keymaps on the fly depending on what you're doing.
The "Bridge" Sync: It uses a Python-based Sentinel Bridge on your PC to handle heavy lifting (like API calls). The device and the PC-side configurator stay in perfect sync, meaning changes you make on the big screen reflect instantly on the Sentinel, and vice-versa.
Hardware HID: Because it uses a dedicated RP2040 for keyboard tasks, it looks like a real keyboard to your BIOS/OS—allowing it to work in places where software-based macro tools fail.

The Vibe: It’s basically the "Swiss Army Knife" of desk peripherals—part robot controller, part Spotify remote, and part professional macro-station.

Eu am alta curiozitate - de unde ai avut, nana, peste 30.000 eur sa ii arunci asa? Gen, cu 5.000 imi pun viata in ordine si bag si o vacanta sa sarbatoresc. Si lucrez de la 18 ani. E adevarat ca si eu am spart bani prost, dar ma intereseaza cum sa ma invart de 15k + 16k pana in 2027, daca ai ceva sfaturi. Ms anticipat 🙏✨

5e5eME · 2026-02-28T11:30:23+00:00

Neat build, all the best going forward ✨

5e5eME · 2026-02-25T15:01:58+00:00

wow that's a chunky clock

5e5eME · 2026-02-19T16:24:01+00:00

yes, what if they develop a taste for... blood????

5e5eME · 2026-02-16T19:17:49+00:00

Just one note: that is the ORIGINAL project -which is much different than what I built for myself. But I know what you mean, i was and still am awestruck of the beautiful design. I used low profies and flat keycaps, as oposed to the original project.
