    These kinds of things are distinctly different, assigning macros or keycodes to specific keys. The threeboard is not a macropad, it's a fully-functional keyboard that can type anyt…

    I tried to give a bit of an overview of this in the 'hardware design' section of the documentation [0]. It has some external links to further documentation and tutorials in it too.…

    It does just send ASCII codes (well, USB keycodes)! It's not supposed to be practical, just to be technically interesting and useful to learn from!

    For me personally, no. But I think the threeboard firmware is small enough right now that it's very readable and understandable, so it could make a good starting point to fork and …

    I built a similar project ( https://github.com/taylorconor/inkymon ) using an Inky wHAT e-ink dev board [1] connected to a Raspberry Pi Zero, which seems to be the same display as …

    Oh that sucks, the whole point of programs like these is that they should still be portable. Could you make a GitHub issue (or email me) with your platform, shell, compiler version…
