Hello!

The KatPad is a 3D printed macropad in ICED PETG plastic and powered with the Sugoi-Macropad-Firmware created by Crafts Lab 3D.

The Sugoi-Macropad-Firmware has your own Programmer Software (Server Based) which makes it totally autonomous and free of a 3rd party software.

To get your KatPat set up, please follow the instructions below.

1. Configure your WIFI

First, plug your KatPad on your computer. Then, after the splash screen:

1 - Press and hold the knob for ~2 seconds, you will enter in the settings menu.

2 - Select Programmer Mode > ON

3 - You will be back to the main screen and you can see now CONFIGURE WIFI in the top

4 - ON your computer, go to WIFI configuration and connect to KATPAD-WIFI-AP and inform the password: craftslab3d

5 - Open your browser and go to : http://katpad-programmer.local/settings

config wifi

6 - On Wi-Fi > Wi-Fi Network inform your network name (SSID) and the password, then Save. Your KatPadt will restart.

7 - After the splash screen, go to Settings > Programmer Mode and select ON. You’ll be back to the main screen and you can see in the top: Connecting.... It can take some time.

8 - If the status changes to PROGRAMMER MODE, means that your WiFi was configured with success, you’re good to go.

9 - Now you can try to access: http://katpad-programmer.local/ and create your first macro!

Tip: If the KatPad is taking too long to connect, verify the distance to the modem, it can’t be so far.

Note: KATPAD-WIFI-AP is the Access Point created by the KatPad to configure your macropad for the first time. It doesn’t intend to be used normally since your computer won’t access the internet

2 - Long Press (hold for about ~2 sec): you enter in the MENU.

3 - Rotation: When in the main screen, is used as a normal key, you can map the clockwise and the counter clockwise direction! For example, you can map the volume, zoom for the desired application or any other key or macro.
