Arduino Project Tutorial: Macro Keyboard
UPDATE 1/7/17: I've uploaded my code seen in the video to my GitHub. I've also uploaded my own links to the .hex firmware files because of the ongoing issues with the original links. All of this can be found here: https://github.com/BlitzCityDIY/ardui...

Reset your board's firmware at your own risk.
Arduino is an open source micro controller with a huge online community. The types of projects you can build with it are almost endless, and in this video I go through step-by-step how you can build a macro (shortcuts, hot keys, etc.) keyboard with a basic push button circuit, some coding and a change in firmware on the Arduino.
