This little device was inspired by one a friend of mine built his own version of: a [deej](https://github.com/omriharel/deej) volume slider panel. This thing allows you to control different applications with individual, *physical*, sliders. Super cool thing.

Except I didn't need all these sliders, really. A single slider would be cool, I thought. You know what I really wanted? Buttons to control the audio *source*, because I switch between speakers and headphones constantly, and that's at least 3 clicks every time I want to switch. So I built a device based on deej, but with some expansions.

So I built a device based on deej, but with some expansions.
I only used few components: a HID-enabled Arduino-compatible Pro Micro with USB-C controls the whole thing. Hooked up to it are four Cherry switches and a Soldering slider I had lying around from my [Daisy project](/projects/daisy), and I added two LEDs for good measure. It's all packaged into a 3D-printed enclosure I designed myself. The slider is screwed in tightly, and so is the top of the case; the key switches are clipped in from the top so they don't fall out; the Arduino and the LEDs are just hot-glued in. For extra flair, the four output buttons are marked with symbols for my outputs: two monitors, a pair of loudspeakers, and a pair of headphones. In the final device, they're arranged so that my two most frequently-used buttons are at the bottom for easier reach.

Software-wise, I set this up with the original deej software to control main volume. For the audio, I used a program called [SoundSwitch](https://soundswitch.aaflalo.me/). The program listened to key presses for the `F21-F24` keys, which the Arduino triggers when the output keys are pressed. The red LED lights up when a key is pressed; the white LED has no assigned function. This worked pretty well, but this is no longer the setup I use, since I switched to Fedora Linux, as I needed to adapt/change the software for the new OS!

When pressing a keyboard's volume button, Windows raises or lowers volume in increments of 2. Fedora does 5. I found this much handier, so I stopped reaching for the slider and just defaulted to using my keyboard. This meant I didn't bother setting up the slider in Fedora. The buttons work, though, but they needed some adjustment. I think (and I might be wrong??) that Linux doesn't support function keys past F12, so I changed the Arduino script so the buttons trigger `Shift + F9-F12`. Instead of a separate program (which kept asking to be updated...), I now use KDE's built-in Shortcuts that trigger a script. The script is one line: `pactl set-default-sink [sink-name]`. The sink name is hard-coded into the file because, as extensive testing proved, Shortcuts does not allow arguments when entering a command. I currently only have two files set up: one for the primary monitor, one for the headphones. When pressing a keyboard's volume button, Windows raises or lowers volume in increments of 2.

This thing is, no exaggeration, one of the handiest things I have ever built, because I use it quite literally ***every single day***. I often switch between my monitor's speakers and my headphones, and being able to do that with the press of a single button is *unbelievably* handy. I don't even think about it anymore, I just reach for the buttons whenever I switch. It's a part of my routine now and I wouldn't want to miss it.

One of my favourite music artists, [Jaron](https://youtu.be/GXvqQ5-P82I), released his album LIGHTYEARS a little over a year ago. For his visuals, he uses a variety of symbols in place of Latin letters, and there's a converter on [his website](https://jaronsteele.com/) too. Only problem is that my browser can't seem to display most of the characters because the characters aren't included in most fonts. That's why I made a font! It allows you to type Latin characters from `A-Z` as well as numbers `0-9` and `!?` in the LIGHTYEARS style.
