SDR Tuner not working with Mac

Post by CircuitCity21 »

I Built the SDR Tuner with the Gemma M0 and the potentiometer. I downloaded the latest version of CircuitPython, loaded the HID library, loaded the code from the page. But I am not seeing the key commands. My Mac sees the device as a USB (data below) but it is not seeing it as an HID device as in a keyboard.

How do I get my Mac to see it as a keyboard device? I am running Catalina 10.15.7 on a MacBook Air.

Solved this myself! I am new to this, I removed the code.py which was in the same folder as main.py. As soon as I did that it worked! I wish I could rewrite the instructions for the SDR Tuner Knob. Its very backwards and assumes a lot. That is common when an expert writes instructions for a beginner.
