#2I guess you might find this useful. It's a Python3 library to emulate the remote control for a Zoom H6 recorder from your computer.
You can use it directly from the terminal, or import it in your Python scripts.
I created it because I was looking for a way to automate some steps in my podcast, and starting or stopping the recording was one of them. This led to a big rabbit hole to understand and emulate the commands sent by the real remote to the recorder. All the digging has finally paid up and the code works!
I hope you find this useful. Pull requests are also welcome.
I'd love to know what you'll be using it for :)

#3Python is really useful as it getting new updates everyday! This is really a language which gives comfort to us especially as a programmer.

Really good stuff! Would this work for a H4n Pro? Regardless, thanks for the effort!
Strange thing, your comment shows as 2 days old in this reply window, but the submission says "1 hour ago".

Presumably HN mods resubmitted this through the second chance pool (which treats an older submission and its comments as if they are new, but in some places that magic leaks ;))

is this a fake account? what kind of a comment is this? completely unrelated to OP and generally just looks like a generated string

Yes, there are a certain small number of usernames here whose submissions are generated by AI, this is clearly one.

#8This is for an audio recorder by Zoomcorp which is different from the famous Zoom Video Communications company.

#9Very cool, very well done.
I purchased the shure mv88 for iPhone. Great mic, but the patterns / settings can only be modified with the official motive app. Making it pretty limited.
It’s 2020 and you’re selling hardware. Why not open source the software / interface ffs!

#10Why
recorder.send('record')
recorder.record()
