CirctuiPython Library for the Pimoroni Qw/ST Pad
This is a CircuitPython library for the Pimoroni Qw/ST Pad.
Installation
# Using uv
uv add circuitpython-qwstpad
# Using pip
pip install circuitpython-qwstpad
# Using pipkin
pipkin install circuitpython-qwstpad
Basic Example
import board
from circuitpython_qwstpad import qwstpad
i2c = board.I2C()
pad = qwstpad.get_qwstpad(i2c)
pad.led_1 = True
print(f"Button A pressed? {pad.button_a}")
Using as a USB keyboard Game Controller
You can make the pico emulate a USB keyboard, using the Qw/ST pad as an input. This works with games and systems like the PICO-8.
To enable this you need to edit boot.py and code.py.
First enable USB HID in boot.py:
import usb_hid
usb_hid.enable((usb_hid.Device.KEYBOARD,))
Then set up the Qw/ST pad in code.py:
from circuitpython_qwstpad import usb_keyboard
usb_keyboard.main(usb_keyboard.PICO_8_PLAYER_1)
This will configure the gamepad to act as a PICO-8 controller.
