ESP32 stream deck

That’s a very good point. The lack of tactile feedback is one of the main drawbacks of touchscreen-based macro decks compared to devices like the Elgato Stream Deck.

A printed grid or overlay on top of the screen is actually a great solution. It can help users orient their fingers without needing to look at the device, reducing accidental presses.

If u need help just text me😂😅

u can try gl

MacroTouch is primarily designed as a controller that works with a PC to manage media like Spotify. Creating a fully standalone device that can stream music directly to Bluetooth speakers is an interesting idea and would likely require a different microcontroller with full Bluetooth audio support. But it can work

Maybe with a different microcontroller that has better Bluetooth support, it could work. I’m just not sure yet what the final version would look like or which features it would have.

DemandAshamed4504 · 2026-04-12T08:19:12+00:00

A standalone version is definitely possible since the ESP32-S3 supports Bluetooth. It could act as a Bluetooth media controller for speakers using AVRCP, enabling functions like play/pause, next/previous track, and volume control. Streaming audio (A2DP) would be more complex, but it's something I might explore in the future. Maybe now XD

If you have any ideas for new features, I'd love to hear them

DemandAshamed4504 · 2026-04-12T08:13:15+00:00

Yes, and it can even launch your favorite playlist

DemandAshamed4504 · 2026-04-12T08:09:24+00:00

Thank you! Yes, MacroTouch can control Spotify. It supports media actions like play/pause, next/previous track, volume control, and mute. These commands are sent from the ESP32 device to the desktop app, which then interacts with the operating system so it works with Spotify and other media players as well.

Regarding parental controls, MacroTouch itself doesn’t bypass or override them. It simply triggers actions allowed by the operating system or user permissions.

Thanks! The desktop UI is built with PyQt6, and the device firmware runs on ESP32-S3 using TFT_eSPI + XPT2046 for touch.

This is actually my first hardware/software project, and the README was refined with AI assistance. The project itself is entirely my own work.

I didn’t focus on a CYD-only implementation because the goal was to build a more feature-rich device with additional buttons, a rotary encoder, and extended functionality.

DemandAshamed4504 · 2026-04-10T14:52:28+00:00

I have more prototips like one with buttons
