Liz (BlizCityDIY) wanted a better way to type and send emojis, so she came up with a Circuit Python project that uses the NeoKey 1×4 QT and QT Py RP2040. The code is well documented and the guide features a code walkthrough. Since it’s CircuitPython, it’s super easy to adapt and customize to work with your hardware set up. Bonus, there’s a macOS and Windows version. Check it out!

I [Noe] had a hand in designing a snap fit case for the QT Py and 1×4 NeoKey. It’s available to download, linked from the guide and also on Thingiverse. Big shout out to Liz coming up with this project and letting me design the case ⚡️🎛🥁
