A fancy keyboard….. At last a clickety keyboard. A Razer Blackwidow V3 mechanical keyboard. I’m not a gamer, but i like the clickety sounds. RGB leds are always nice to play with.
One of the nice things about razer is the Linux support!
Put the box flat on the table to switch off. When you put it on one side, it will controll your lights brightness. 20,40,60,80 and 100%, just by rotating and putting it down on its sides.

Nice to have’s : Arduino-sleep mode, wakeup with a movement sensor.

I’ve modded several LSC devices, most of them i could flash with esp-easy or tasmota. Why mod it? Because it uses the cloud .. i’d like to keep control myself. Just connect/solder a USB to TTL Converter UART Module like below. (See other posts)
But this alarm was different, i ended up removing the chip and replace it with a ESP12.
Warning .. loud! .. Yes almost xmasA WR3 is almost like a ESP-12
So now i had to figure out which GPIO pins and how to control them.
#1/bin/bash
# Flashed ESP Easy on this one
# When i did this, 2019, you needed version 2.1-beta1
# GPIO 4 controls LED

Update 20221208 – removed internals
Removed my old hack and replaced it with a Wemos D1. Added a LED Next to do .. add a amplifier using a LM356/358
This was made using an Arduino and some buttons. I’m using Fbreader and Ebookdroid on the tablet.
Code:
Note: Volume buttons work for both apps, if you want to use other keys, you need to put a keymap.xml file in your fbreader books directory on your android device to remap those!
