I’m interested too if you can ship to Europe (Belgium). Greets ---

The semi-colon trick in UGS only works for macros, if you’re using the console it is going to be limited to one command at a time. It looks like your device is emulating a keyboard, some some of the more complex routines would be… well… complicated. You can create keyboard shortcuts to custom macros. In addition to that, UGS has a LOT of built-in actions which would (only?) be useful for a pendant like this: ![17 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/0/3/0309917f7a64010700cd16f7f486ba918c55b803.jpg) If you wanted to make it even easier for your customers, you could create a profile for your device which can load all of the shortcuts automatically by clicking the “Manage Profiles…” button. This isn’t a feature I’ve used before, but occasionally these esoteric extras in the platform I’m using come in handy! ![43 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/c/b/cb4a2aa52ba67bd93404f7284d602a962f7f21ca.png) ---

Thanks Will. I’ll take a look at your suggestions and see what the best next step is. ---

@MechanicalGoose do you have an idea on when this will be available for sale? ---

Update. After a few more hours of coding and trial and error (thanks to @WillWinder for the support), the pendant now has the same functions for UGS that were shown in the video for Easel. It requires importing a set of macro’s and a keymap set into UGS but that will all be provided to make things simple. For PicSender, it still remains a jogging only solution for now. I will be selling them through my Etsy store initially and plan to post the completed listing tomorrow. I will start taking pre-orders as I order the sub-components in batches. I will ship in the US initially but want to open it up after I check on what is required to ship elsewhere. Appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm and support. ---

Keep us posted when you get it to work with Picsender. Ill take one then. ---

Also interested in Picsender capabilities. For now I have a bluetooth num pad that does jogging. ---

Yes, after you create a custom macro it should show up in the drop-down menu and you can set a keybinding for it. ---

Thanks Phil. As of my update post from last night I had already setup all the macros and keymapping so in UGS the pendant functions the same as it does in Easel as I showed in the video. I have the export of the keymaps and macros so folks will be able to import and hit the ground running. ---

I don’t see any reason it wouldn’t. None of the keymaps I’m using are unique sequences that would require newer Windows versions. I have an old XP machine I could test it on to be sure. Now that I have it working I need to run a quick test on my Macbook now to be sure there are no issues there either with UGS mode. ---

This will require the use of ugcs platform, not the classic gui, correct? ---

@PhilJohnson I dug out a 13 year old Win XP Celeron laptop and confirmed it works with UGS. I also confirmed it works on Mac OSX for anyone curious. ---

This is definitely something that needs to be added to my setup. How does this hook up with Phils home made controller? I am in the process of building one for myself and would love to add this.
