Don’t be a jerk and mute everyone so that you can talk. There’s a way for you to mute everyone, but it goes without saying that you should be respectful. So it’s good that people mute themselves when they are not talking. Kids, cars outside, construction, or any other noise that is not usual in the office can disturb many meetings. Since we transitioned to working from home, we have less control of our surroundings. “You’re on mute” is the most said sentence of the last year by far. Today I want to focus on important things that are unique to online meetings, and you should consider them so that they are as most productive as possible. But we were too dependent on the face-to-face meetings, and these don’t translate directly to online meetings, so we need to make an effort to optimize them to avoid everyone losing their time. Companies overall adjusted really well to this new reality and shifted to online meetings. I found this Github issue related to other CircuitPython boards that were having this same issue.Because of the pandemic, most of us needed to start working from home, almost from one day to another. Everything worked as expected once I closed Cura and reset the QT Py. It turns out that Cura was trying to “talk” to the QT Py and this was preventing it from working. I noticed that my QT Py was constantly resetting/not working while I was working on this project.

Also, the Teams or Zoom windows has to be in focus for the button to work.Īll code and 3D models are available via the Github Repository: Special Note About Cura Comment out the every line that has button_led if you want to use a button that doesn’t have an LED on it. It is up to the user to manually sync it to there current application if they want to use it as an indicator if they are currently muted or not. Please note that the led on the arcade button is currently set to toggle every time it is pressed. In order to change the keyboard shortcut that is active, hold down the button until the onboard neopixel changes colors.Press the button to activate the active application’s keyboard shortcut.

For more information about this issue see the Adafruit Forum post from user aaaidan.

The strip_xattr.sh script is very helpful if you run into problems copying the required library files over to the QT Py on a Mac. You will need to copy the following CircuitPython library files over to your QT Py as well. Please see Adafruit’s Primary Guide for setting up the QT Py with CircuitPython. This is helpful for knowing what application/shortcut is active. I printed my enclosure using semi transparent PETG to enable the user to easily see the color of the onboard neopixle. The Fusion360 file has User Parameters if you want to change the diameter or the height of the enclosure. There are several things that could be improved in this design, but it is a start. I followed Noé Ruiz Layer by Layer tutorial below to make a circular SnapFit case to hold my project ( STL/Fusion360 Files). Arcade Button with LED – 30mm Translucent Clear.
