Stream deck using Arduino and Python

This is a little project I started due to the fact that I wanted to stream and didn't want to spend lots on a simple stream deck. So I programmed one using an Arduino nano, custom numpad and Python.

Requirments:

• OBS websocket library for python
• pySerial - pip install pyserial
• Arduino (nano would be enough)
• Numpad for the arduino

Setup

There isn't much to do:

1. Connect the numpad to the arduino (As explained below)
2. Connect the arduino to the PC
3. Run python3 pydeck.py
4. Upload the arduino code
5. Enjoy!

How to use

After you ran python3 pydeck.py you can start using the strean deck. But what if you want to check layout?

To do so go to profiles.py and follow this steps:

1. Create a new class that inherits from class profile

   class my_profile(profile):
   	def __init__(self):
   		pass

2. Add your wanted commands to the list of commands

   class my_profile(profile):
   	def __init__(self):
   		self.commands = [self.start_stream, self.start_record]

• Note: More than 16 commands wont be usable due to a 4x4 numpad

For developers

• IDE (sublime is my recommendation)
• Arduino IDE
• Python 3.X +
