About
It was one of these days...I had the idea that it would be cool to have kind of a emergency-button to trigger a sound. For example, if a calling customer really pissed you off, you can hit it (gently) and it will play a sound maybe shouting "what the f*ck"!
I built that completely in hardware, but it was a bit annoying that the sound quality of the recording chip was bad, and recording a new sound took a bit too long (attaching cable to my Mac, playing the desired sound while pushing the recording button).
So I decided to create new, better, more flexible version!
Hardware
Before you start....You are doing this at your own risk! If you end up with a fried USB port or even a dead computer, don't blame me!
What you need
- 1 really cheap, small mouse with at least three buttons (more might be better)
- 1 Klöckner & Möller FAK Grobhandtaster
- Some tools, like screwdrivers, soldering station etc.
Building
Software
Currently there is a Problem, making it impossible to use my app with mouse buttons 3+. Dammit. Guess what? I found a solution: Installing Logitech CC and deactivating it (deleting com.Logitech.Control Center.Daemon.plist, removing Logitech Control Center.prefPane) did the trick for me.
